While I appreciate that modern aircraft are incredibly safe, I don't think many people really appreciate what it means for a flight and aircraft to be ETOPS 240 or ETOPS 330 certified. That means if something happens in the air, you have 4 - 5.5 hours of flying before you reach an acceptable runway. You really are on your own.

Something to think about next time you're over the pacific.
