I know plane crashes are rare, and this Asiana crash in San Francisco was "minor" compared to how much worse it could have been (that's no consolation to the families of the two fatalities). But when it's an airline you've flown, and an airport that you've spent more time in than any other (probably), it really hits home. I may have even been on this exact same Flight 214 once.
So... I'm flying home across the Pacific in 4 weeks on United Airlines, via Hong Kong and Chicago. Frankly, that sounds a lot riskier than Asiana, via Incheon and San Francisco. But the odds are still in my favor, right?
