You hurtle above the earth at enough speed to kill you instantly should you bump into something, and you can only breathe because someone built you a really good tin can that has seams tight enough to hold in a decent amount of air. Hundreds of millions of man-hours of work and struggle and research, blood, sweat, tears, and lives have gone into the history of air travel, and it has totally revolutionized the face of our planet and societies.

The Buddhist explanation is that we feel this uneasiness because we're always trying to get ground under our feet and it never quite works.

It seems that insecurity — Pema Chodron
