Reassuring fact: no plane has ever crashed due to turbulence

[(Anonymous)]

I appreciate that but I assure you that I know this intellectually! Knowing the facts is not the primary issue (and also, even knowing that intellectually, my brain is still capable of going BUT WHAT IF THE MAINTENANCE WORKERS WERE CUTTING CORNERS AND THERE WERE STRESS FRACTURES THAT WEREN'T NOTICED AND AAAAAAAH)

[(Anonymous)]

Now I feel compelled to comb through the entire catalog of Mini Air Crash Investigation to confirm this.

A AYRT T

From what I know (I have read about this) turbulence and similar weather conditions have caused crashes decades ago, in like the 40s and 50s, but generally aren't the sole cause of crashes in the last 50 or 60 years. They've *contributed* to crashes more recently but with modern aircraft crashes generally require significant pilot error, management error, mechanical error, or some combination of them.

DA

Yeah, I watch the show "Air Disasters" - I'm guessing the "Mini Air Crash" show you mention is similar to that one - and I really can't recall any stories about crashes based on turbulence, either. I've also learned that most crashes happen during takeoff or landing.

I don't have a phobia of flying, per se, but I'm not super wild about it because I did have kind of a crappy flying experience once (we made it to our destination okay, just one of those flights where it seemed there was always some issue popping up at some point along the trip). Strangely, though, watching that "Air Disasters" show has really helped ease my issues with flying a lot. It really does take a LOT to bring down a flight, and the amount of changes and improvements that have been made over the decades to help make flying safer have really proven to be beneficial in a lot of ways.

I totally understand where watching those kinds of shows may just exacerbate one's fear, though, yeah, 'cause even if you know on an intellectual level that flying is overall a pretty safe form of travel, and even if you know the kinds of efforts that have been made to ensure that's the case...the real life crash stories that do exist are, obviously, still pretty disturbing to hear about, and even fictional ones can be pretty freaky to watch as well.
