What? No fear of Snakes on a Plane?
Muthaf*kkin Snakes!
I’ve had about enough of those motherfu*king snakes on my pi charts!
I just laughed out loud… thank you
Wrong pie. I refuse to have mathematics interferin’ with these monkey-fighting snakes on this Monday-to-Friday plane.
(AMC Family editing = fail)
I was waiting for that reference too…
Nope
God damnit, came here to say this
This…really isn’t funny.
I agree. Not that funny and why would hyperactive children make you the most nervous on a plane? Shouldn’t terrorists be up there?
I’m more afraid of kids than terrorists–anyone with half a brain and the tiniest shred of logic would be (at least in the US). And I think the reference is SUPPOSED to be a fear that the kids will somehow open the emergency exit]
Which is impossible, considering the pressure differential…
Which is impossible, considering children are not allowed in emergency exit row seats…
This is the point I was going to make. The m—–in’ snakes would have been much funnier, albeit a bit outdated.
Snakes on a plane should NEVER be outdated, Keith.
Folks, make sure you talk to your kids about the dangers of snakes on planes.
hahahahah
That’s what I figured. My fear of kids over terrorists is on the ground (or the screaming variety anywhere).
The worst, of course, would be hyperactive terrorist kids.
“JIHADJIHADJIHADJIHADJIHADJIHAD!”
“Dammit Achbul, if you do not sit down and shut up, I am blowing up this plane right now!”
Oh… My…. God…. You are the funniest being I’ve ever heard on this sit, B. Phil.
I think that’s part of the humor.
See, we know logically that the door can’t be opened in flight, not by the kids near the door (who of course aren’t in their officially purchased seats, but might be over there anyway) or anyone else. And we know that guy is probably in the bathroom because he ate the wrong food before the flight took off. But our minds get on those things and we get scared. We DON’T necessarily think of “terrorists” specifically. Although that would be something actually logical to fear.
We humans aren’t logical, see? That’s part of what makes it funny.
thank you for that pointless psychological study on this graph.
How about watching too much Air Crash Investigation? It freaked me out…
Since no one else has mentioned it yet — this is why airliner doors are designed to open inward, against the pressure differential when the plane is in flight. It would take roughly 15,000 pounds of force to open a door while at altitude. No one’s opening that door — not a bunch of screaming kids, not a passenger freaking out who decides to try to leave, not even Chuck Norris.
The dude in the lav is *way* scarier.
Thanks for that Deon, it saved me the trouble of typing it myself. In regards to terrorists staging another 9/11 type attack… never going to happen. You honestly think that fellow passenger will sit idly by while people hijack a plane? Don’t think so. There will probably be some carnage, but believe you me, it’s going to be the hijackers who won’t be walking off the plane when it makes a landing.
For those of you who are into planes and travel by plane there is a great column by a guy named Patrick Smith on salon every week called “Ask the Pilot”. Patrick fly’s 676 on international routes and is a great read to boot.
Deon saved you the trouble of writing it, and yet you restate what he said, taking even more space and time to do so…
Woah, woah, Deon. Let’s not get carried away. Chuck Norris can open any door, and most walls, regardless of cabin pressure.
It’s nearer 2,000 lbs actually.
I was looking for something about crash-landing on an island where you are barraged by monsters, polar bears, and Others.
what about that guy in a turbin?
If there’s a guy stuck in the turbine engine I’m pretty sure the airplane is going to go down, yeah, but I wouldn’t exactly think that would be common occurrence. ;-P
I mean, I’ve heard of birds hitting airplane engines, but guys? What was he doing out there? Sky diving? Either way, I’m fairly sure the guy in the turbine should really start fearing for his life.
lolz!
I have yet to hear of any terrorist Sikhs hijacking a plane.
I’d be more afraid of the guy wearing a Confederate flag on his shirt – He’s likely to be the sort of racist retard that would vote for Palin in 2012.
cucuto89 – May you be raped to death, your flesh eaten, and your skin turned into clothing by a man who has exactly the same shade skin, the same religion, and the same choice in clothes, as you do.
I love you, Grumpy.
Oops… that was supposed to be 767′s, not 676′s.
actually everyone else should fear me… i can’t sleep in moving vehicles (great for driving, poor for flying). and this is made even worse by the really annoying person next to me who can’t WAIT to tell me his/her life story.
however, i’m great with children. so, can we trade planes?
What about no Vodka left?
I vote for this option as the scariest thing that could happen on an airplane.
The correct answer is “snakes”.
I can honestly say I’ve never feared for my life on a plane.
Unless I’m flying it. And even then only a few times.
99% of that should be its a qantas plain.
So what’s the last fatal Qantas jet crash? Oh yeah, there hasn’t been one. Ever.
hmmm, he left out taking a ryanair flight…but then again thats only a european torture…
What about snakes?
What about watching too much LOST?
lol Win
There’s so much wrong with this graph:
1) The title is inappropriate based on the content. There are 4 “Reasons” listed. The title should be along the lines of “Distribution of my fear among these 4 reasons” or something similar.
2) There are so many other reasons to be nervous on a plane (sadistic stewardesses, getting stuck on the tarmac for hours on end, etc etc) that aren’t listed.
3) No one under 15 (or so — I can’t remember the exact age limit) is allowed to sit in the exit row.
4) The perpetuation of the misconception that an aircraft door can be opened in flight. The physics of it have already been explained here, but I can’t believe so many people just don’t get it.
Seriously, laugh a little. Its good for you.
Alex is right.
Just because kids aren’t allowed to purchase seats in the exit row doesn’t mean they might not be hanging around over there for some reason.
I guess I should change to MattW
You people being overly critical and are overthinking a simple lolpie chart. I though it was clever and funny, not like all these garden variety, “what my cat will do or lick/odds something will happen at worst possible time” charts. Good chart imo.
I agree.
I think it’s part of the intended humor that we “fear for our lives” at the dumbest random crap but it’s not really anything we should fear, but the things we should fear, we don’t. Why? Because we are all humans and all humans are messed up.
Pacman has a fever and is vomiting a rainbow??

which airliner doors open inwards? the planes I always get on have the door open outwards…..
you know what relly freaks me out on planes? when the woman next to me say her friend has a feeling “there’s something wrong with the lft falangy.”
i got scared after watching final destination! i was 10 so who other 10yr old wouldnt
Lost scared the bejesus outta me. For the next year I hated flying.
