I've always had a fear of airplanes. Quite a number of years ago, I took a flight out to Florida with my best friend at the time. The flight out there was smooth and uneventful. But the trip to go home did not turn out so well. As our plane was approaching the boarding area, a wing of the plane struck the boarding area extension, severally damaging the plane. We had to wait 6 more hours for another plane to go home. And this plane had some electrical issues halfway home when the internal cabin lights started to flicker. All that just reenforced my fear of flying and I've never been on another plane since.
