    Hasn't ended well for who? The plaintiff/s or the defendant?

    I thought I heard one news report say you can hear the pilot knocking on the cockpit door and passengers panicking. There was no response from the Co-Pilot the whole time.

    I read that too, some reports said you can hear passengers screaming. That's horrifying.

    really appreciate the change in thread title, but you might as well take the MH370 reference out at this point

    its true that you are much more likely to die in a car crash than a plane crash. however, if you do get into a car crash, you are much more likely to survive than you are in a plane crash. there are plenty of car crashes where people get hurt but ultimately are fine/still alive. how often do you hear of a major airliner crashing and anybody survives? crashes upon landing are about the only time. if the plane hits land when its still supposed to be in the air, everyone dies pretty much every single time.

    why not? you can deploy around 3,500 ft.
    jump out the back exits.
    i'd rather have AN OPTION than no option. you give me a god damn life jacket.

    Can you imagine the chaos of 150 people when they're got maybe 30 seconds before the plane crashes trying to jump out of an emergency exit without training on how to use a parachute or when to deploy? That would be intense

    make everybody wear the parachute the entire flight like fighter pilots. have a computer that reads the air speed, angle of descent, and altitude that can't be overridden by anyone. if the plane crosses thresholds for those 3 things, the entire roof pops off and every single seat gets ejected before it slams into the ground.

    or just follow in car maker's footsteps. we have cars that can drive, brake, and park themselves. how is it that we don't have planes that can see mountains?

    Weight/fuel costs, parachutes are heavy. Even the military has taken chutes of certain airframes for this reason.

    The top of the plane would pop off and everyone just ejects like Mav and goose.

    I flew today, 2 flights. I had all this stuff in this thread in my head the whole time, spent almost the entire time readying myself for the "oh fuck" moment.

    Everything went fine, of course.

    It's actually shocking given how much planes constantly fly, how many flights each day, weather, fatigue, third world countries.....terrorism, that they don't go down more.

    you can't even open the emergency exit when presurized. good luck with that.

    Yeah, I just realized I got confused.

    Either way, it ain't happening bc of money. And, well, logistics too. You'd have to wear a pressurized suit and helmet/mask too, and when a pilot ejects out of an aircraft it basically breaks their body. No way an airline is opening themselves up for that kind of responsibility.

    ahh ok. i was trying to figure out if i was missing something. i read the article twice and was still about what that had to do with anything


    but ya, it would be a nightmare trying to make that financially feasible. and imagine the computer malfunctioning when landing and it freaks out because the plane is too close to the ground and it blows the top off and 150 people come parachuting down like 1/2 mile from the runway, scattered all over the place


    i still think planes being able to recognize their surroundings like cars do is possible. with stuff like google earth, gps systems, and all this other topographical information, im sure there is some way they can program the plane to recognize where it is in the world and what the landscape is like. if it knows that there are 15,000 ft mountains coming up in 10 miles and its only at 10,000 ft, it needs to climb no matter what the pilot wants to do.
