Flying: ....Whats the scariest thing to ever happen to you during an airplane flight?
350824
In my first flight on a double engine prop plane, connection flight, we almost crashed. When I first got on and looked out the window I saw the wing had DUCT TAPE...YES, DUCT TAPE I SAID...on it. It also looked like the engine had caught on fire at some point. I pointed it out to my Dad who said I was nuts and wouldn't even look. Anyways the engine I was looking at started sputtering and we took a nose dive. We righted rather quickly and I proceeded to look at my Dad and yell, "See I told you! That IS duct tape on the wing isn't it?!" Everyone else looked at the wing and tape as I pointed it out and we all demanded the pilot land so he did...Good thing. Just as we were landing the right engind died again and from what I heard the mechanics on the tarmac say it was locked up but good...\n\nOut of the hundreds of flights I've done that was the only problem but certainly a memorable one!!!

Recently I attended an excursion to our Airport in the capacity of a parent helper. Wow it was sooo fun.... we followed the yellow line in single file out on the tarmac as if we were planes about to take off. We learnt to recognise  the various signs within the airport eg. toilets, exit etc.\nBut the best part was when a Blackhawk helipcopter landed to refuel and the two pilots invited us to hop in and sit and walk through it. We got heaps of pics.

I have had this dream a few times and it always scares me. I don't know how to fly but somehow I manage to get way up high and I'm afraid of falling, but never do. This question stirred up some weird feelings for me, something to ponder.

Well, get this, my scariest dream was when i was standing there and waving to a friend, I just kept waving and saying "good bye" over and over as if she were going somewhere. Then I was woken by a phone call at 6:30am that morning to say she had died during the night. I was freaked out, it was pretty scary.

YES!!!! I am sooooo scared. I live about a mile from the ocean and I'm freaked out. My family and i went to fly kites at the beach over Easter and i was horrified cause the waves were so big (I've been scared ever since that huge tsunami) I had to be reassured the whole time.lol

I hear you and my motto is: the day I do not fear jumping out of a perfectly good airplane is the day I stop skydiving.  I mean, if you're not scared--why do it?

Okay I am not a guy but my little boy was riding a go-cart at a friends house (and didn't tell me) no seat-belt or whatever that thing is to control the speed. Anyway the throttle got stuck and he was only 8 and he didn't know what to do never being on one and he ran into a cement pole. It was the most awful thing I had ever been through the pain I saw on his face when they brought him to me was the scariest thing I had ever seen. He turned completely black down there and we even had to have an ultra sound to see it the blood supply had been cut off completely... thank goodness it hadn't but it was so scary... I cried for like 3 solid hours after because seeing how bad he was hurting tore me up inside and he was amazingly brave. He could not walk for days had to be in a wheelchair and was even hard to do that because sitting was so so hard... so I would say right now ... I'm glad I am not a man/boy and don't ever have to find out for myself.... I have no tears left lol

When I was little we were playing under the train bridge. my boyfriends dog went on the track and a train was coming we we're on one side our 2 friends on the other. in a panic we were all calling the dog and she did'nt know which way to go. The train hit her and her head flew off and landed right by my feet it was one of the scariest and horriblest days of my life.

I was able to do it by pulling my butt onto an airplane.\n\nI lost my fear of heights when I was flying through the sky in a aluminum tube at 500 mph.  It's reallyt weird, but I've read about other people having the same results.

Moths. Yes I know they are virtually harmless and do not even bite, but I am just scared sh*tless every time I see one of those creepy things fluttering towards me. The reason why I am so scared of them is because when I was about 13 my sister and my dad and I went camping. We had a paddle boat with up and my sister and I decided to take it out onto the lake after sunset. WELL. We got out on the lake and were paddling around when we turned on the flashlights. Moths like the stars. EVERYWHERE! In my hair, crawling all over me. My sister and naturally freaked out and I have been afraid ever sense.

Years ago I was on my way to India. I had gone to the restroom at the Raleigh Durham airport in N.C while waiting for my flight. I had chosen to wear a dress that I thought would be comfortable anyhow when I was in the restroom the back of my dress got caught in the top of my panty hose. I wasn't aware of this and when I came out of the restroom everybody in the airport was pointing and laughing. I couldn't figure out why and my cousin had to quietly tell me. I was so embarrassed that I cried.

taking off from an airport in a  C 152...had  to pull up on the taxiway and  open the door and pulled my winky out and the taxiway ran alongside a highway so everyone passing saw my lil winky.  But the alternative wa s to pee my pants in a small plane which I wa s flying back to my home, Florida, with that stench inside.

Surviving an experience that almost killed you.  You were "near death".

Breathe. Relax. The chances of your plane crashing are minimal. Even more remote are the chances that you would survive the plane crash as you would probably die on impact. I'm not trying to scare you, but you really don't need to be worring about having to eat your friend (or anyone else!).\n\nAgain, breathe. Relax. It will be OK. Ask your doctor for valium or ways to cope with the flight. Read a book or listen to music. Just have fun on your holiday!\n\nI could not eat a fellow human. Cannibalism is abhorred by God.

Invisibility so I can go see things I probably shouldn't.\nBut, flying is the correct anwser for the Radio Trivia!
