Is someone shooting these things down ?!?!
A colleague's getting married next Saturday and is going to NY as part of her Honeymoon. I suggested she book a heli flight - "Fantastic way to see the city, etc etc". Had to spend a fair while one morning last week explaining to her that helicopters aren't really that dangerous, actually crash very rarely, there's someone with the controls in their hands that has a vested interest in not crashing, after the crash everyone will be double checking maintenance, taking extra care and so on and so forth. Calmed her down and she was looking forward to the flight again. I'm dreading Monday, when I'll have to start all over again.
