WOW. Sounds like quite an ordeal.
I like many others i'm sure, always feel safer when i am in charge.
When i drive a car fast it doesn't worry me as i know my limits and know i can handle it.
When i sit in with someone who also drives it fast. I am terrified.
Its probably just human emotion.
P.S. I'm sure you will get over your ideal. It would have been good to have a word with the pilot when your were disembarking to see what actually happened. The less big a deal he made of it probably would have comforted you perhaps.
