Description

Today, we’re going to talk about one of the biggest what-ifs that crosses the mind of nervous flyers:

“What if the engines stop?”

It’s one of those thoughts that hits you mid-flight, especially when the engines get quiet, or you hit turbulence, or your brain just starts scanning for danger. It’s a fear that’s primal and powerful—because let’s face it: the idea of flying through the air without engine power can feel like a nightmare.
