rmThis is a fantastic article:
http://nymag.com/news/features/53788/
It really captures of the competing narratives and realities of modern flight (and the general conflicts we have culturally when it comes to risk vs. reliability).
That said, if you have any fear about commercial air travel, this might not be the article for you. It doesn't tell horror stories or anything like that, but finding out just how computerized it all is strikes me as pretty disturbing.
