This week I watched a program about plane disasters and it was shocking, scary and worrying. In 2011 a plane from America flew to Poland but its landing gear was stuck. The pilot tried desperately for the whole journey but to no avail. The plane had to do an emergency landing at Warsaw. Amazingly all the passengers got out alive. In the 1990s a plane from Ethiopia was flying to Kenya but it got high jacked. They told the pilot to fly to Australia but he knew the plane didn't have enough fuel. They demanded he started to go across the sea. The plane ran out of fuel and the pilot cleverly brought the plane down by a beach in the Comoros Islands. The passengers were able to get out the plane and go in rafts to the shore. The worst one was a plane arriving with an emergency landing and then the passengers escaping but the middle of the plane broke into flames. Some people including the pilot got out plane in time but then the plane burnt down. How terribly scary.
A hot air balloon in Egypt went too high and got out of control. It crashed three times and wreaked a Nile barge. All its passengers had been terrified. They showed a stunt pilot crashing and amazingly he survived. They said there are two types of chopper pilot. Those that have crashed and those that are going to crash. What do you think?

I remember once, when I boss I had was about to go on his first airplane trip to the US, we bought him a video, similar to this you are talking about, he almost cancel his trip.
But, seriously, accidents are terrible, and, those of airplanes, tends to catch us more than others, maybe, for the large number of victims that usualy have. The worst part, for me, is the highjacking of an airplane, maybe this is the most terrifying experience.

It was a shame your boss watched that video and that it nearly put him off his trip. That sort of program is not one to watch the week before a flight on a plane. Air accidents are rare and can happen because of poor maintenance. Some airlines are band from flying in Europe because they have problems of that nature. Yes, a high jacked plane is the worst possible event ever. It would scare me very much indeed to imagine what might happen to the plane if I was in that awful situation.

flight accidents are the least, but, somehow, they catch our imagination more than any other, I think that there is an inherent fear in us to fly, or, more precisely, to fall. Being highjacked, is loosing the control or our lives, our freedom, in the hands of criminals, indeed the worst scenario of all.
