The first reaction is shock followed by denial that such a thing could happen. Airplane crashes are so rare that you would never expect such a thing to happen let alone effect a loved one. Aesop was only 22 at the time and its safe to assume his friends were around his age as well. No one that young knows how to react to something this serious.

The person with Kimya is trying to calm her down from her panic even though he/she thinks she is ridiculous for being afraid. This is sometimes refereed to as aerophobia.

If there is a map in the back of the seat in front of her, then she can see where the plane is at the current moment which would only freak her out more. Many planes now have entertainment systems attached to the backs of seats that can show the passenger the precise location of the plane. These maps show the land masses as green and the water masses as blue.

She is afraid that as the plane crosses into the ocean, that it will crash and she will be lost at sea like others have been. However such stories are played up in the media to be more common place than they actually are, making many people fear flying all together when its actually proven to be safer then driving.

Original Latin
Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo,
Aureli pathice et cinaede Furi,
qui me ex versiculis meis putastis,
quod sunt molliculi, parum pudicum.
Nam castum esse decet pium poetam
ipsum, versiculos nihil necessest;
qui tum denique habent salem ac leporem,
si sunt molliculi ac parum pudici
et quod pruriat incitare possunt,
non dico pueris, sed his pilosis
qui duros nequeunt movere lumbos.
Vos, quod milia multa basiorum
legistis, male me marem putatis?
Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo.
