But every time we hit turbulence, I just cant get my mind off watching the wing snap...

Help, seriously, because this is one of my only weaknesses and I dont know what to do to make it better....
The Discovery Channel did a series about the making of the Airbus A380 and one of the episodes had a section about stress testing the wings. Have a look at that if you can find it and you'll never worry about them snapping again. They bent the things up to destruction - you'll not believe how far they bent before they finally gave up!
