Fighting fear with flying facts
"Am I Going Down?" - an app that tells you exactly how likely your plane is to crash - is designed to alleviate fear of flying by presenting cold, hard stats. The developers say if you're flying on a Boeing 777 Cathay Pacific flight from Hong Kong to Los Angeles, there's a one in 4,068,434 chance that your flight will go down en route. Data was used from such sources such as the Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Archives. (Source: Fox News)

A reader writes: "I bank with Kiwibank, and each month I withdraw several hundred dollars in cash, in different denominations for various purposes. So I went to the teller at the Onehunga branch to change my $50 notes, only to be told they don't hold enough cash, I have to pre-order it if I want about $300 in $5 and $10 notes. Like a pub with no beer; a bank with no cash!"
