Planes Safe?

I always thought planes were very dangerous, because there were so many plane crash stories on the radio. This is why everytime I go on a plane, I get very nervous. To add to my negative feelings about flying on a plane, I also get very dizzy and feel awful while riding tens of thousands of feet in the air. Although some people say that car crashes happen more often than plane crashes, I still feel unassured, because the odds may depend on the scenario of which flight, or the weather, etc.
I'm sure there are some people who share my dislike of airplanes, and I think I should start getting over it, because when I get older, I may have to travel by plane to reach a destination, so why not start overcoming my fear now? Anyways, the airplane food makes me feel like puking, the pillows are prickly, and the blankets smell bad and are thin and flimsy. The only potentially good thing about airplanes are the inflight movies, where you can choose from a large variety. I'm fine with cars, trains, boats, subways, but I really don't like airplanes. Some people love them, and they are lucky. I guess I was just born with it.
Another thing that really freaks me out, is that terrorist attacks are mostly for airplanes. I have never heard of a terrorist taking over a car. There is no point, and so, I feel better inside a car than an airplane.
I am kind of looking forward to going to China, but we will be flying there, 14 hours, and my past memories of flying to China have not been very good. I felt terrible in the airplane, and I couldn't sleep, because I was in a sitting position. I can never sleep like that. It's very uncomfortable too.

I don't like airplanes.
