Seat 7aHardcover, 1 July 2021

It's irrational. You know that, you've checked the statistics. Flying is safer than driving -- nineteen times safer. You also know that should something happen, seat 7A, according to the numbers, is the worst place to be sitting. But here you are, in seat 7A, buckled up for take off, unable to shake off the feeling of dread, the feeling that something is about to go very wrong. Irrational, perhaps. But you're not wrong.
