Talk Yourself Down from Dread

Flying is known as the safest form of long-distance travel – and dying from a plane accident is extremely rare. So why do our brains hang on to the very extraordinary instances when something goes wrong?

It comes down to confirmation bias, which makes us look for evidence that supports our existing beliefs.
