Fear of flying?

I have flown a few times, and never used to worry an iota as a kid. Now days I am reluctant to go anywhere incase the plane crashes!

Whats happened?

I put of Pakistan, and all sorts, on such (crazy ?) fears.

Help!

planes are actually amazingly safe. They are MUCH safer than cars. There is some interesting information here:

I do get claustrophic... I can never sit by the window, where I feel that I am PINNED between the window and the people sitting beside me and it blocks my escape route in case of an emergency (escape where... ??? )

I am slightly better off on the aisle seats.

Its a psychological fear. I used to have acrophobia and due to that couldnt even fly on a plane, well that fear went away with time, i guess i grew out of it. Now all i think is, my life is gonna end the way Allah wants, it can be tommorow or whenever and i wont be able to do anything about it. I can even die while walking on a pavement. So go with the flow of life and enjoy every single moment of it and take risks.
and yea saying durood, ayetalkursi would help a lot too :)

I agree with MusicManiac. You won;t die before your time is up and if your time is up there is no way u can dodge death, so live your life without fear.

I love flying, its awesome :) Planes are built to fly, not to crash. Theres like more chance of you dieing crossing the road or being murdered on the street than your plane crashing. You have nothing to worry about, in fact if you worry now you'll worry even more when your plane flies through turbulence :D
