Do planes really fly themselves? Is turbulence dangerous? Can you (or your intestines) get sucked into an airplane toilet? These are the important questions we all ask ourselves as your plane leaves the tarmac (which, by the way, isn't called the tarmac). Let's get into it. Planes are a marvel of modern technology, but when you're on one, they can often feel like terrifying metal deathtraps. Let's break down the most common myths and misconceptions about flying. Join host Justin Dodd in an endless pursuit of the truth. If you have your own topic who's misconceptions you'd like to see debunked leave it in the comments! ------- Mental Floss is the home for all things curious.
