Those last 2 pics are examples of why I try and avoid flying where possible!

And that's a great example of when perceptions get the better of your mind
To explain; there is less chance for you to die (or be) in a plane crash than in a car accident or even just walking on the road, or getting electrocuted at home, etc...I'm sure there are a lot of other incidents which are more frequent and look less scary. Don't worry it's not just you, it's the way the human mind works.

I love flying, just not for too long. I also like it when they put extra sauce on my hotdog.

Every year more people are killed by donkeys than in aircraft crashes.

This is why I avoid donkeys where possible.

That Emirates shot looks insane!!!
Went to the landing approach of Adelaide Airport with a friend this morning to try out his new Nickoff lens. I shot these with my trusty Tokina 11-16mm.
Final approach - Virgin VH-VUG.
Roads. Where we are going we dont need roads! - JetStar VH-VQK.
This is a flamed German Albatros shot down in WW1. Looks like the pilot opted to go splat rather than burn to death first. Edit: or was already deceased and ejected from his falling plane.
Edit 2: It seems the picture was a hoax.
