MYTH 3: Receving or making calls from your mobile phone, could potentially crash the plane. This is personally my favourite myth, as I have never understood why this is a thing, and we can all conclude that it is FALSE. So apparently the air-companies have been afraid, that the electromagnetic interferens and the radiowaves, could disrupt the communication and navigations system. The proof of this, has always been missing, and therefore multiple airlines are starting to allow electronics turned on, during landing and takeoffs.

This myth always makes me think of this Penny Arcade strip!
