You could have chosen not to fly after the recent airbus accidents (latest within the last 24 hours: http://www.mylot.com/w/newsarticle/21909981.aspx) but are you safe if you stay at home?
What with earthquakes and explosions do you feel safe at home any more?

Last night many families were at home when a cargo train carrying gas cisterns derailed and a terrific exposion followed by a fire occurred. Deaths and injuries for those who were in the buildings that were destroyed in the disaster which happened in a station at a seaside resort in the Tuscany region of Italy.

Do you put off travelling and prefer staying at home for fear of an accident of some sort?

Well, I will say that it's really a tragedy that there are a number of plane accidents which cause a lot of death. I must admit that I will feel a bit hesitant about taking a plane. However, I will say there are lots of accidents happening everywhere. Accidents may happen on the road in the car, in public transport, on ship, on plane, and even at home. So, there's actually no way of knowing if staying at home will be the safest. I guess if it's time for you to go, I don't think you can really avoid it...

Seems that's the way it is and when it's your time it happens wherever you happen to be in these modern times.

i dont feel like if you stay at home u will be safer,i dont believe because am not superstitious and staying at home makes you lazy and it decreases your energy and stamina, i think you will be safer if you stay at home and outside, because to be safer you need food, to get food you need money, and if you dont go out how can earn money and how can you eat food....


myLot reputation of 78/100. mysdianait (11946)   ranked 1,236 out of 35,199 in people  6 months ago

Yes we can't let fears and superstitions take over and make us lead a different sort of life from the one we would like to live. Bad things can happen in any place and at any time so best just to get out and do whatever we need to indeed.

those incidence are really sad...
actually, even after those news, i still don't afraid of traveling. these days, the situations are really unpredictable, and i believe that no matter where we are, if it is our time to go...then it will happen. even if we are in our own house, accidents that may lead to our death will happen...so i will not stop my self in traveling just because i am afraid of accidents to happen. what i do is i always utter a small prayer to the Lord to ask for His guidance before i go...
happy

Progress has altered so many things and made it so that we are less safe anywhere it seems. I agree that we can only get on and do what we have to trusting that we will be safe everywhere.

we cannot overcome our luck. What is lotted cannot be blotted. So if my fate has a mishappenings I cannot escape from it. So it does not mean that sitting at my home is safer than to stay at outside.

To see it that way, we will always feel insecure anywhere. Whether it will be home, riding public transportations, etc. But even though it's dangerous, I prefer to stay home. I feel safer that way. Not to mention in home I feel get more freedom to do anything I want. It's just a matter of preference, I guess.


myLot reputation of 78/100. mysdianait (11946)   ranked 1,236 out of 35,199 in people  6 months ago

I too feel freer at home but I don't feel any safer than I do anywhere else now - especially as I live on the lowest floor of a block of flats. There are six other floors above me so... whistle I just don't think about it wink

There will always be risks of travelling. As for me, I opted not to travel for the next few weeks. I wasn't thinking about possible accidents... but I was scared of the A(H1N1), that's been spreading a lot in our country. Like in just a month, the news of it's spread from various parts of my country scared me, especially because I have a little son.

With regards to the recent accident reports. I haven't heard much about it. I better check it out, and hope it won't cause me more paranoia in travelling shocked


myLot reputation of 78/100. mysdianait (11946)   ranked 1,236 out of 35,199 in people  6 months ago

One of those accidents tha happened involved people who were in their own homes and thought that they were safe there sad

Yes I agree that the 'swine flu' is yet another reason that could cause us not to travel - but then I work in an hotel and have guests from all over the world so that probably means I'm not 'safe' there either. It would only need one of them to be contagious and... doesn't bear thinking about so I won't! wink

These events are beyond tragic, but I've never really been influenced heavily by things like this when it comes to travel and will still continue to do so if needed. Lately I've not been traveling much at all, but I used to travel at least once a month in the past and these were usually overseas trips by plane. I've never really enjoyed flying, but it's more because of the fact that I usually did it alone and got bored than because of any fear of accidents or anything like that. My heart goes out to all the people affected by these events. sad


myLot reputation of 78/100. mysdianait (11946)   ranked 1,236 out of 35,199 in people  6 months ago

I have just heard on the news here that several of those who were badly injured have since died sad So extremely tragically unforunate but, if a 'but' is allowed, it would have been even worse had it occurred during daytime doh

I too treat flying like catching a bus since I have now lost count of how many times I have been back and forth between UK and Italy. Not a long trip but just as dangerous I guess. Nothing really bothers me more than anything else now as every day there is yet another report of something or other in the most absurd, and seemingly 'safe', circumstances. This weekend here a youth was killed instantly after placing his hand on a lampost. He had been playing football with his friends and the game had just ended. His hand was sweaty enough to cause him to die as the result of an electrical shock from the post - incredible and so appalling to think that yes, we have progressed, but has it made our lives more vulnerable? surrender

I think of it this way: Its either I fear being everywhere since dangers are everywhere and accidents might occur at any moment of any given time.. Or
I would feel safe anywhere, whether at home or outside the home, while exercising enough caution of course. I mean I wont be leaping in front of buses because I feel that the bus wont hit me. doh But general caution in anything, everywhere.

Well since you said 'safer' then I think there is a slight difference in the degree that I feel that Im safer at home than anywhere else. We live in a quiet neighborhood and there isnt anything much going on. So there is the pretense that one would believe he/she is safe.

I do hope that the authorities will finally know the cause for such accidents so they can help prevent it in the future. Its already dangerous living near the trains or under bridges, the authorities can hopefully work something out to help the families as well as keep the community safe.


myLot reputation of 78/100. mysdianait (11946)   ranked 1,236 out of 35,199 in people  6 months ago

You make some interesting points bj. I live in the town centre here though next to a park and just off a main busy road. There is enough going on to not feel isolated but on the other hand, there is always something being done in the way of renovations and equipment is used that causes accidents. A crane fell on passers-by a few months back. A fire brole out in an office and nearby buildings were evacuated. All things that would not have happened in the country.
Then as I said ina previous comment, I live on the lowest floor of a six floor block of flats. I cna't spend the day thinking about them collapsing so yes I feel safe here too whistle

There is an inquest being held and I hope the results will be enough to take the necessary precautions so that similar incidents do not happen again in future. Seems that overhauling should be done more regularly - but was loss of human lives needed to make that obvious?? surrender


myLot reputation of 96/100. bjcyrix (2821)   ranked 830 out of 35,199 in people  6 months ago

Yikes, for someone paranoid, he/she could go over the edge just worrying everytime that those 5 higher blocks of flats would not cave indoh

Goodluck Mys.D!^_^ Anyway I do agree that they shouldve exercised extreme caution in every working day so as to prevent things from happening in the first place. But since it has already happened they should just try to make things right and increase their level of caution.

first, lock ALL doors, windows, or any other things that could be used as an entrance.
second, don't play loud music or anything with high volume because they would know you were home and maybe bring a weapon.
third, convince your parents to invest in a security alarm or let them let you keep a butcher's knife or any huge or useful weapon in your room.
four, just be alert and aware of your surroundings. keep a phone near you for a quick call to police; parents; or someone in the neighborhood you can trust.
five, keep relaxed and calm; keep your strength up; keep hope if anything does happen.
six, don't leave any type of key outside where someone could reach it. you don't know how clever some people can be...
