# I think that, statistically,
the most dangerous part of your journey will be the drive to or from the airport.

# right right.
but, see... uhm... you don't find a life-jacket nestling underneath the seat of your car.

kinna gives you the impression they're safer, somehow.

# If you tell us the flight number
we can track it on the flight tracker at trip.com and form a global karmic support network. I think Jiva has the instructions for one of those.

# Don't think any of those are in service yet,
which means you'll probably be flying in one of those 20-year old Lufthansa cast-offs.

I shouldn't worry about it too much. You're more likely to get run over crossing the road than die in a plane crash. Even if you do, at least you'll make the news.

# don't worry
