5/15/2001 01:10:13 AM there was a scary report on a crazy plane crash in california on dateline nbc earlier. i have no idea how i'm supposed to fly anywhere with all this crap on tv scaring the bejesus out of me. probably the most frightening aspect of it was that it was caused by nothing other than pilot incompetency and stupidity. basicly the plane came in too fast, began descending 2 miles later than normal, while pilots ignored the buzzing alarms telling them to pull up and abort; this caused the plane to speed, then skid out of control and crash into a guy and a gas station. lovely. i've flown on airplanes ever since i was a small child, and was never afraid, even when i was alone, but ever since a hell flight i caught from jersey to orlando a few years back, i've been uneasy about flying. the takeoff and the decent makes me nauseous and jittery, and all these reports about over worked crack head pilots and screwed up airplanes don't exactly put me at ease.
