Air travel is often held up as one of the safest forms of
transportation. But when something does go wrong, as it did with
Fly Jamaica Flight OJ256, the consequences can be
severe.
Airplanes are complex vehicles that require specialized training
to operate, rigorous inspections, and well-defined emergency
procedures in the event of serious mechanical problems, poor flying
conditions or other unexpected situations on board. Passengers,
sometimes numbering in the hundreds, can be at serious risk of
physical injuries, disability or death in the event of severe
in-air turbulence or crash landings on land or in water. Even if
they survive without sustaining much physical harm, being a part of
a severe aircraft incident can result in post-traumatic stress
disorder which can be every bit as debilitating
