I didn't think passenger jets could fly so erratically and still stay in the air. They must be a lot more manouvreable than I ever imagined.

I don't like flying either but a random Russian plane with no passengers losing rudder control wouldn't stop me from going on holiday.

Thousands of planes travel every day, you're just as likely to die in a car crash or sink on a ship
