I'm up for a trip to Toronto next week. Looking forward to it.

Once I'm at the airport, the most dangerous part of my trip is done.

FAA: 2 planes nearly collide in Fort Lauderdale

One plane misses turn on taxiway and enters wrong runway

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Two planes came within 100 feet of colliding at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport after one missed its turn onto a taxiway and entered the runway where the other was about to land, federal authorities said.

Air traffic controllers noticed a plane entering a runway Wednesday as Delta Flight 1489 approached the same runway for a landing, Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said.

The controllers alerted the Delta crew to pull up and circle the airport to avoid United Flight 1544, which had missed a turn onto another taxiway, Bergen said.

No need to be overly scared though. The statistics on people who die in car crashes or household accidents every single day are absolutely frightening compared to air travel accidents.

The last time I flew in April, I was looking out my window after a good 2 hours into the flight. Just then, another jet flew right underneath our plane plain as day. Another guy sitting in a seat next to me looked at me like, what the h@ll was that??? Very freaky. Do they allow planes to cross paths that close to one another?

I am flying in September and although I am not scared I really dont want to watch all the scary things that CAN happen so please have a heart for those that are travelling and leave this for the media WHEN it happens.

Thank You
