Jeff Rossen Give Tips On How To Overcome Fear Of Flying | Megyn Kelly TODAY
For everyone calling her annoying. This is what anxiety looks like. Its overthinking and irrational. I appreciate her for being a good representative of real fear
Yes, but she’s also not even on a plane. How do you expect to get over the fear when the person giving you tips isn’t being allowed to talk because she continues to interrupt
@@peeweemister on the plane or thinking of being on a plane is very similar in the mind of someone with severe anxiety. It manifests and can become extreme.
Straight facts!!!
Totally! Feel this so deeply!
She’s always annoying
People: don’t be scared it’s 1 in 60 million
Me:I could be that one
My thought exactly
1 in 60 planes crash.
Yup
SAME🤦🏾♀️ I’ve been on 10 flights, longest one was 8 hours
That’s exactly what I think of every time someone says that
its not the fear of plane crash , turbulence or anything technical , its more about the fear of feeling trapped with no where to go , fear of having a full blown panic and no where to escape
Absolutely right 😢
Same 😭
For me it’s the fear of dying 😭 because that would be PURE terror for several minutes and there’s nothing I could do to escape. It makes me sick to even think about
Exactly!!!!! That’s spot on.
And to add to that. Imagine having a panic attack and people start pulling out their phones and recording you.
Honestly its the feeling of not being in control/ having any options. Being that high in the air just feels like an automatic death sentence. I can literally feel myself floating in the air im completely aware of every little bump of turbulence. Id rather walk tbh 😂
Exactly what is it for me!
Me too 😩 it's getting so much worse even though I keep flying... Idk what to do
Yes absolutely. I hate flying. I’d rather drive even if it takes days.
That's how I feel too. When I'm feeling anxious, I like to be in my home. Up there, you're stuck and that wouldn't feel nice but I also want to travel with my kids and husband 😢
My tip for overcoming the anxiety: Look at the stewardess or steward. They almost always look calm, going about their regular duties. Think about how many flights they have been on. Think about the number of stewardesses and stewards that are retired and were flying in times when aviation was much less safe.
It keeps my mind busy and always makes me feel more relaxed.
Yeah, but they’d try their best to keep us calm no matter what, even if we were in a nosedive …!
I always look at the flight attendants and the other passengers and calm down that way.
You are right. My friends mother was a FA for 30 years. Never had one hiccup on any of her flights. Not one in 30 years.
@@drknow1997 See this makes me feel better.
This is what i do! I have a terrible fear of flying but this helps
The turbulence isn't what scares me, it's the feeling of taking off and landing.
Me too
I love landing because I'm closer to the ground. I'm not scared of turbulence until its happening. The biggest thing is take off and climbing. I listen to jazz really loud so I can't hear the engine, close my eyes, and deep breathe until we are coasting. It works most of the time.
Omggg yesss
Take off for me. Landing isn’t that bad
@@Jessica-ji1hl yes same. Music loud with headphones. It basically the only thing that works. I also like to actually film my takeoff. It helps me relax as crazy as it sounds
So true if the pilot spoke more and explained things it would help a lot ..
Seriously! When there is turbulence, i wish the pilot would say DONT WORRY THIS IS NORMAL EVERYTHING IS PERFECTLY OKAY! Instead of us suffering through the terror of the unknown (how it feels)
Exactly my thoughts !!!
This!
I hate it when they "brace for turbulence"
omg exactly this is what i was thinking
JUST LET HIM SPEAK!
She is so annoying! Why does she kept interrupting!
julia kerry all about her. So annoying and self obsessed. Only HER fear counts not even prepared to listen for the sake of her viewers / audience. Drop her , surely there are less self absorbed presenters out there?
Fr
When people get anxious they talk more sometimes. It was a topic she was scared of so she kept blurting things. Maybe had something to do with it.
Agree
Can she stop interrupting him
Just like a woman.
Honestly
Something that's helped me alittle while riding on planes is looking out the window briefly when you can see land. Because during turbulence it seems like the plane is all over the place moving fast. Which it is moving fast but by looking out the window and seeing roads, cars, land etc below I'm able to to see that the plane seem like it's just cruising steadly with just minor disruption from the turbulence. That helps me to realize the plane is still in control. Obviously if you're scared don't look out the window when the plane is turning( like it's on its side, which it's not) but just take a glimpse out when you're scared and able to see land or even clouds below sometimes. Trust me you will see that the plane isn't in this terrible storm jumping all over the place.
She is an annoying host. Let him speak.
megan KOCKIE IS A LOUDMOUTH
Odds are actually 1 in 60 million ...& imagine turbulence being like flying through jelly that's how the air acts
Carl Bode this is the best way to describe turbulence and calm passengers down,very simple yet logically correct!
I wanted to comment on your stats...I can't comment on the number 1 in 60 Million..I have see one 12 million and as high as 1 in 250 million. So that is million what (Miles/ hours/ or flights?)
I've only flown a few times and the last time I flew was a little better. But I'm still scared. I pray a lot and am so grateful when we land. I've never experienced turbulence 😬 thank God. I've learned it's a combination of a terrifying death and lack of control. I know that may sound illogical but that's how it is for me. It's a blessing to be able to fly but even more of a blessing that we make it anywhere safely.
Lack of control; that's the point!
I can relate to this so well. When someone asks me why I'm scared, i say it's the lack of control on whats happening
99% of the comments : the lady needs to stop interrupting!
1% of the comments : This video acc worked !!
Being a pilot, some of the information he gave wasn't correct. I can understand why he said incorrect things but still. There is some weather even the biggest planes can't fly through, the wings will be ripped off. On saying that, we have weather instruments and weather forecasts to tell us so we don't fly into these conditions. Also, even if you are in an aircraft incident, you will likely survive, only a small percentage are actually dual engine loss resulting in a crash from 30,000ft. Also, the reason why Hollywood makes so many plane crash movies and aircraft investigations are because they are rare, they simply couldn't make an episode on every crash let alone fatal car crash. Finally, if flying was really that dangerous would millions of people have their pilots licence?
You'll be fine, it's all in your head.
Oh god thank you for that. I have a flight next week. Nuff love to you .
“The wings will be ripped off” oh great thanks for those reliving words!!!
Thanks! I'll be flying to alberta for Christmas and I'm scared of flying , this helped a bit
This helped me. I fly to Mexico in two days
Why would you say this to people who are trying to find relief. So since you’re saying he doesn’t know what he’s talking about , then that mean we shouldn’t trust pilots at all because his information is wrong?
"If the plane goes down the odds of you surviving are very slim." In case anyone was worried about this comment, it's actually not as slim as you might think. The US National Transportation Safety Board did a review of airplane accidents from 1983-2000 and 95% of people in airplane crashes survived the accidents. 55% if you look at the more serious ones... which is still more than half. 2017 was deemed the safest year for air travel as well. Plane wings can bend to extremes and the plane is built to withstand accidents and as time goes on planes are only getting safer and better built.
@karateka oss buddy show me your sources for that and stop trying to make people unnecessarily anxious over false information.
anyways, i ended up flying not too long after i made this comment and the flight went well!!! i know its not as easy as seeing flights go well for others but try to remember that airlines don't want their planes to crash and so they put in tons of resources to prevent them from doing so. frequent evaluations of pilots, consistent testing of planes, plans in place for emergencies, etc. Planes can fly even if one engine fails and in the scenario of both failing they're built to be able to glide safely to the ground without them.
@@MrsBumblefuppersOldAccount what is your number one advice against fear of flying? 😅
@@sana-ub8nz Look into what your airline offers! I've found quite a lot of them are now including flight trackers. I was on southwest and was able to see exactly where we were, how fast we were going, and the estimated time left. It made me feel a bit more in control! I also tried to sit in the aisle seat so that if I felt any panic creeping in I could get up and walk to the bathroom to take some deep breaths by myself. Bringing some music may also help! Sometimes our brains focus too much on the noises going on that are completely normal and listening to some calming music can distract from the anxiety a bit. Distractions like books you enjoy or movies help too!!! I would constantly remind myself of the facts that I stated above because I find that having a solid grounding to remind yourself that you're safe is very helpful.
Once I was on a plane and I was on the can when the plane went through turbulence , anyway I flew up and hit my head on the ceiling , as I was coming down I accidentally hit the flush button but I was sitting on the toilet so it sucked my in and out of the plane , So I’m falling through the sky from 35,000 ft and I land on a trampoline and it swings me back up through the toilet and back into the plane and I just walk back to my seat like nothing happened
Swag
That’s cute and all but I’m still scared of being on planes 🤪
i wouldn't say that i have a "fear of flying" or that it's really bad or panicky. i know the physics and everything and i also know that turbulence is not a problem, so i'm never really afraid of it. however, i'm never really relaxed while i'm flying. i'm always slightly tense and i can never sleep during the flight, even i did not slept through the night before. i also notice that whenever i land, a kind of stone falls from my heart and i'm then i start to relax. when i travel by train or bus, i always sleep no matter how uncomfortable it is. and i never slept in a plane. even in 8 hour flights
But i have noticed that alcohol, in the form of a beer or a shot that you can buy at the airport, helps me to relax more. i would suggest to try it for everyone who is scared
It’s not the fear of dying… it’s the fear of having a panic attack in mid flight and being stuck
Have this video downloaded for my upcoming trip next week in case I get into turbulence. Jeff makes me feel calm and relaxed now.
How was your flight? Hope it was good.👍
Get really, really, REALLY drunk, pop ten to twenty xanax's, then pass out and sleep through the flight. If the sucker crashes you'll never know it.
I experienced terrible turbulence once and haven’t flown since
Me too
Same and now i have to fly tomorrow i could throoooooow up
@@TheRaveyBabyy how was that flight?lol
What happened? I had the same thing, haven’t flown since, I asked the stewardess how bad was that turbulence after flight, she said it was a 5 outa 10. I said I would hate to be in 8-9 turbulence! She said that’s when people are flying in the air. Geez!
@@TheRaveyBabyy how did the flight go?
The statistics aren’t really fair: we all drive in cars daily. We fly in planes sporadically...
"The plane is never scared by turbulence, only people are"
-Jeff Rossen
For me my anxiety is triggered by claustrophobia.
I am scared of being locked in the plane for a specific time and not being able to get off the plane if there is a panic attack. Whenever I think of flying lying on my bed even then I feel the pressure and heat of flying and once in life I will necessarily have to fly What should I do then?
I’m like this as well. I have a severe fear of panicking and not being able to escape.
I don't have fear of crashing, its the being of locked up in the plane that freaks me out.
Excellent: When there is turbulence, the pilot needs to say something.
I flew from Orlando to New Orleans and back, from Orlando to Denver and back, and lastly my recent vacation from Orlando to Phoenix and flew back yesterday.. my first 4 flights I have never even experience turbulence until this Phoenix trip there and back. Which sucked both ways. The landing yesterday was terrible. I've help build the new terminal c and worked at some of the other terminals through the years as a welder, so I've always seen plans land and my house is 15 mins from the airport but for years I've always seen the plans land at Orlando Airport well driving down hwy 528 which is literally beside the landing strip. So when we were coming in hard yesterday I knew it.. I just knew we were coming in steep, hard and fast and sure enough it was a rough landing. Felt like the front wheel should have popped off as hard a we hit the ground.
I have flown 100s of times but for some reason my anxiety has taken me into over thinking. I'm going on an 11 flight soon. I've done it a bunch but with age I have gotten worse about the lack of control I have. I know it's in my head but geez bring on the double bloody Mary's in the airport bar. I developed that "are we all going in the right direction?" Phobia to the point that I'm afraid to look at the the plane map on my tv screen. Haha. Funny but... that's just my wonky self. Oh and "I hope the the wheels and landing gear is still attached."
A funny story if you're still reading this, I had a short flight from Jamaica to Miami and the pilot came on and said " of you can see to our left that's a pretty big ehhh storm.. don't like it. We're safe but ehhh.. I'm gonna ehhhh tell the flight staff to sit down. Eehhhh it's okay but ehhh ya.. in don't like it. So buckle up. " we were fine obviously and I don't even recall turbulence but the way your brain will start racing. I also suffer from general anxiety so you're not alone. Cheers
I have anxiety on planes too and struggle with general anxiety as well. I prefer looking at the airplane screen because it shows me how close I am from being to my destination (aka getting off the plane)
I came to this video to try to help someone who’s afraid of airplanes, now I’m scared of airplanes
She asked every question I needed to hear !!!
-but you survive a car crash... -yeah ahem, so about turbulence
I’m more scared to sit by someone like her on a plane than the actual flight it’s self.
HAHAAAA
And when the plane is hurling to the ground in a blaze of fiery death, air masks will drop from the overhead compartment for your convenience and comfort.
🤭😰😰🥺🥺, you are sooo wrong for this comment😂😂this is not helping my friend🤣🤣🤣
not helping at all Mister
Best comment ever!!!
I needed that
I don't understand why the person did not mention weight, balance and moment. So if you take a board and hold it out straight, and it is 4 feet long you can hold with out much difficulty...put a brick on it next to your hand and it is heaver but as you move it out towards the end know as increasing the moment it becomes harder to hold. What does this have to do with and airplane. Well the CG is the point where the aircraft balance and is also where the ride in flight is the smoothest...so getting seats over the wings or close to it will not be as rough.
Maybe she’s interrupting because she’s anxious about what’s being talked about. Give her a break lol
you interrupting him just gives me more anxiety. it's ruining the whole point of the video. please work on that.
Two words that helped me overcome my fear - GREYHOUND BUS
I prefer Amtrak personally
I took the bus and it sucks too long
Which Aircraft is best to tackle turbulence Boeing 737-800 or Airbus A 320? If anyone can answer me this question I will be really grateful 🙏🙏
I used to fly without a problem a lot, all of the sudden Im scared of turbulance at cruising altitude, what the heck? I think about how fast and high we are that the plane can desintegrate easier due to pressures, it sounds dumb but I dont know where it came from. I am perfectly fine below 10k ft
Wondering if I can get some Ativan or Valium for a flight...
I hate flying sure I’m gonna try this!
I was in the bathroom and the plane went through turbulence 🤦🏾♀️
Queen of Greatness 😂😂😂 I’m more afraid of that happening then going through turbulence.
You have a higher chance of being struck by lightning whilst getting in your car to get to the airport that getting in a plane accident
Who else has to fly soon post-COVID?
I just read the book, "Flight 232," the story of the DC-10 Sioux City Iowa crash. Captain Alfred Haynes saved 186 people by being a stud pilot! I watch "Air Disasters" almost every day and have a huge fear of crashing, not flying. I love flying, it's the crashing part that bums me out. I don't trust maintenance crew, schedules, pressures to be on time. Seems like everything is rushed which causes me fear. I am fearful of flying because I chose to be. It's more fun this way!
i watch this everytime i am about to fly
Actual flying doesnt make me anxiuous. It`s the airport with all the hundreds of people rushing this way and that, and the fear of not getting to the gate on time and missing my flight.
Ever since 9-11 ive been traumatized of planes 😞
I hate when the plane takes off! But I love when it lands I really don’t like flying I use to not anymore
Don't worry as long as the wings don't fall off and as long as the engines don't fail then you're ok
I overcame my fear of flying by never flying. It works 100%
haha same here
😂😂😂😂 imma try that
I’m just scared of crashing in the middle of the ocean
What is your fear is just based on the fact that you are really high in the air? When I think of that thought, that there’s nothing underneath me, that sends me into a panic.
for turbulences, think that you are in a car and there's a very bad road, full of potholes, inhale 1.2 and exhale 1.2.3, read a book, listen to CALM music, eat a bit so you won't faint or something
The only thing what helped me to overcome my fear of flying is Xanax..
I just think abt how many flights my dad is on (he goes on a flight every 2 weeks)
2024, every time I get on the plane the first thing the pilot says is we’re going to hit some repairs so we’re gonna ask that you remain seated and buckled in your seatbelt as well as our airlines staff. Will try to get up and around it as soon as we can thank you for your patience. And I wanna say, can I please get off now, now!
AFTER WATCHING THIS I JUST CALM DOWN😭
Were not afraid of cars cause cars dont fall miles out of the sky at hundreds of miles per hour
wouldn't say completely safe as there have been some plane crashes but it is extremely safe
"1 in 11 Million"
Me: "I don't like those odds..."
I like how this reporter handled this, she asked great questions but as a daughter of a rolls Royce engineer who makes part of the airplane engines the questions should be about turbulence or even how a plane takes off as this is basic physics but it's the trust you have to put in the manufacturing and maintenance process, the trust you have to have in the people that make these parts and on your fellow passengers and pilot! If the pilot decides he wants to end it and crash into the sea like MH370 then what's stopping him/her.
That’s my biggest fear. And that’s why I have so much anxiety and fear of flying. Not really the turbulence or taking off or landing.
Omg!!! Let the dude speak!!!!!!!!!!!!
i thiing i dont like is the fact that being 30 thousand feet in the air and going really fast scares me alot
I’m not afraid of flying i’m afraid of a plane hijacking like 9/11
Me yoo
*People watching because they are going on a flight the next minute*
👇
I wonder what the people think on the other side who died from plane crash 😬
Im going to the uk next month ion kno how jm going to do it 💀
I am afraid to say if something goes wrong up there, we can't wait for them to send an engineer in to fix the issues, indeed not much consultation going on up there...
nothing is scary in flying until I heard someone saying "may day".
When she wrote her name with her left hand, did she say “I look like I’m poor”
Daniel Morley nah she said “I look like I’m 4”
I wouldn't say I'm scared. Yelling, "WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!" As soon as we lift off the runway, does that count as freakin' petrified? I hear you Megyn! I hear you girlfriend!!!
1:47 they SAID the titanic was unsinkable. just like they SAY planes can withstand turbulance
Good to see Meghan.
Who is the guest!! Him or her
azizbiloxi him
For me I have the feeling I’m ganna crash and die and I get scared
Lol everyone is saying she's annoying, but I get like that over my fear of flying.. he seemed to get that and was really giving her good tips. I'll be taking my straw with me next flight! Lol
Let the man talk!
Megan, stop interrupting him! ! Geez...
Ok I had second hand embarrassment for her. How is it that she had a show?? She didn’t even let him speak!! Not cute :/
I take the train or ship across to Europe .
I just don't fly now, I start panicking the day before the flight😢
I'm fine with flying. Suddenly not flying or the plane blowing or disintegrating up mid flight, thats what does it for me... I always think I will be that 1 in 11 million as well which doesnt help
What about the Boeing max
I understand the emotions, but she was obviously trying to own the show, and prove him wrong. When he was only trying to reassure her and other flyers
There are a few components to reducing shyness naturally . One plan I found which successfully combines these is the Seans Shy Program (google it if you're interested) without a doubt the most helpful blueprint that I've seen. Check out the great information .
I worry about engine fires
the host is funny..
No she’s annoying
So getting into a plane crash is 10 times more likely than winning the lottery (im a pessimist).
Uhh holding your breathe and tensing up is terrible for anxiety. Why would you want to promote adrenaline during a panic stage
I hat taake offffff 😂😂
I wish I could hear him more but she was really interrupting :(
Will she shut up so he can talk 🙄

Taking off is the worst part
im pretty sure the thing for take off is for the positive gs you feel
