Scared of flying in airplanes?

I am scared but my mom travels a lot. She is flying from Chicago to New york (not sure the airport). I am scared that they will crash. And with the threat of a terror attack this summer. Will there be another 9/11? How do I get over this? I'm scared for my mom!

Answer:
Well, did you know that flying is the safest form of transportation? Also, the people who desgin the planes have to run the jet engines for, literally, 2 weeks straight to make sure that they are functionable enough. They do about a thousand tests on a plane to make sure nothing happens during takeoff, flight, and landing. Also with increased security since 2001, there's almost no way another terrorist could sneak in the plane and do anything. The pilots now lock their cabin doors, the pilots now have to show ID and their actual selves, metal detectors and X ray machines will stop anything illegal from comig in the plane, ect ect ect... Trust me, you're totally safe and try your hardest not to worry.
Just pray for her, and trust God that everthing will be ok! calm down and don't panic in front of your mom because then she might get a little nervouse too, everything is going to be ok!
I'll pray for her!
that is very understandable, air travel is still staticlly the safest way to travel, i flew to michican recently and admitlly i was a little afraid but i arrived safe. accidents can happen anywere any time, just take a deep breath and think through it.
What is to happen will happen, your worring will not stop any thing but make you and your mom uncomfortable. is this what you want for your mom?
