Speaking of 'fear' - i pulled a book off our shelf last night that was written in 1999. It had this to say about the future of air travel: -- (edited)

"The growth in air traffic has prompted Boeing to say that there will be a major air crash every week by the year 2010."

it went on to say that on a per-plane-in-the-air basis this would actually be a DECREASE compared to what was current then.

i don't know what they considered 'major.'
