I don't have a superstitious bone in my body, but my family doesn't fly on the 17th, ever, let alone July 17th which happens to be my birthday. Actually we simply don't even travel on that day lol. There's been tsunamis and other accidents such as building collapses and terrorist bombings on the July 17th as well, along with a list of July 17th small plane crashes around the country. Just something about that date and mass transportation I guess. Google your birth day and see what you come up with
