I can agree to that "phobia" relating to flight because i had such few years back even till now it do happens but not often as before. Having that thought of what if there is a turbulence mid air, what would them happen. Chuckles we africans like having so much imaginations @duskobgd this is so enlightened
I listened to people's stories about half an hour of strong turbulence, when the entire interior of the plane was in disarray due to nausea and fear, so I don't think anyone was laughing in such a situation, but such turbulence probably happens rarely, so there is no point in being afraid of what could happen.
