I have family who works on planes. I’m tired of being terrified. I want to drag these incompetent, malicious fucks out of the white house.
Do it
It’s a good thing I don’t fly any more.
Who would want to board a flight any where around or in or over the US right now?
It’s a lottery and every flight in the US just increased it’s potential to be involved in a minor or a major air disaster.
It’s less safe than it was, but this concern is still irrational.
How the hell do I know when it becomes a rational fear? We all know Trump’s solution to this is “stop reporting the crashes”
Every crash is getting reported on the news now. Take the number of recent crashes and divide by the number of commercial passenger flights over the same time period. It’s more than 5000 per day.
And how many where in the same period before Cheeto took office.
How many crashes? The midair one was the first in 20 years, right? So one more of those. And like a couple more on runways since then. So let’s assume it was zero before and 3 after, in a period of about 3 weeks.
We’re going from 0% of flights in an arbitrary Biden period to 3 / (5000 x 21) = 0.003%.
Like I said, it’s gotten more dangerous, but it’s not (yet) a reason to avoid air travel.
I don’t get the hostility here.
SpaceX employees will cause an air disaster like in Tenerife.
For anyone not familiar with it, the Tenerife disaster is the deadliest aviation accident of all time. A quick summary is that 583 people were killed when two Boeing 747s collided on the runway at Los Rodeos Airport.
