In light of the disastrous event, I am scared of flying to Atlanta for FAC. Any thoughts?

I'm driving to the Atlanta FAC.

But I live in Atlanta.
But driving in Atlanta is far more dangerous than flying to Atlanta. Enjoy your flight. Earn some frequent flyer miles. The airlines are safer than ever after a hijacking.

Maybe he is scared to drive now too. Perhaps he could walk.

Instead of flying or driving, I'll think I will bike there. After all, I train about 300 miles a week on my bike now.

I'm the Anonymmous from Atlanta. Riding a bike, or even being a pedestrian is Atlanta is far more dangerous then driving a car. (very serious) - I recall a survey several years back - Atlanta is the most dangerous city in America for pedestrians. Do yourself a favor - fly or drive a car.

I am a different anonymous from Atlanta. It is only so dangerous walking because so many folks run out in the middle of the street, ignoring crosswalks and lights. Many of them do not speak english, which is probably why they don't understand the traffic rules. That being said, if you understand what the crosswalks mean, you are pretty safe.

I have lived in many cities, I have never before seen large groups of folks running en masse across divided highways becase they are too lazy to walk 1 block up for the light. It is very bizarre- my friends told me about it, but you have to see it to understand the extent of the problem.

A heretofore all "Guest" thread. Fascinating.
