Default Re: Who else is scared of airplanes?

If your already cautious, let me help you become terrified.
In engineering class, our professor was discussing safety factors, and used bridges, and airplanes as examples.

A safety factor of 10 means if you say a bridge can hold 10lb it has to actually be able to hold 100.

Airplanes have a safety factor of f*cking 1.17!!!!
