That's my mom, she's a nervous wreck whenever she's on a plane and there's the slightest bit of turbulence. They should have hypodermics full of powerful crazy knockout drugs for people like her - maybe a free mini bag of horse tranquilizers.

Awesome stuff right there!
Delta!
Propably got fired after this for not being strapped in during take off and landing
It didn't say he held her hand the entire flight.
You can take that sentence about 6 different ways depending on which word you emphasize.
To be fair there is not article. It's just a title and a picture.
That said, considering any flight I have ever been on, and based on talks from anyone I know who is afraid of flying, once the plane is in the air, it's neither scary or gives off any substantial soundsnor bumps that a flight attentant would be able to explain.
Therefore I think that it is fair to assume that this was mostly needed during take off and landing
I'm not afraid of flying and turbulence can scare me if it's bad enough. I'm not sure why you think everything is smooth once a plane gets into the air every time.
Yeah sometimes they reach cruising altitude and start drink service and then something happens and they reach crashing altitude.
Wondering why down votes tho lol
Kindness is wonderful.
Obligatory twilight zone:
'THERES SOMETHING ON THE WING!!!'
Therrrrrrrrre's somethingonthewing, some....THING
I did this once. A stranger asked me to hold her hand as we landed. It was the height of COVID and I was kind of wary, but I used some hand sanitizer before and after, and grabbed her hand as we hit the usual turbulence and bumps on approach. I figured if she was scared enough to ask a stranger to hold her hand, it would be meaningful to her to do it. We didn’t really talk before or after. Once we landed and started taxiing, she let go, thanked me, and I said you’re welcome.
I have done it for kids before but not adults. I would do the same though. I flew from STL to Mobile, Al with a transfer in Atlanta when I was in 6th grade. The flight attendants and others that helped me thru it were wonderful.
I've experienced some scary shit, for me -- nearly lost a limb (thanks be to medicine), cancer scare, etc. Life shit.
The simple human kindness of reassuring touch is so trivial at the time until you're really in the depths of the fear in the spinning, wild, no-no-no-no part. Then the triviality of reassuring human touch - platonic, but there to say you're not alone - is a fucking lifeline. Just for a moment.
I figured if she was scared enough to ask a stranger to hold her hand, it would be meaningful to her to do it.
This is such an important realization, I think. It was a little bit awkward for you, but imagine her internal process.
