For many people, traveling by plane is an exciting experience. Others, however, find the whole idea quite terrifying, although flying is no more dangerous than any other form of travel and some experts say it is considerbly safer.

Wonder why some pop singers appear to enjoy so much fame in their time. Usually, there are some valid reasons for their popularity.
