Comment on "Pilot had to dive aggressively to avoid midair collision over Burbank airport."

  At any time, you can expect at least 2-6 people out of their seats if the fasten seatbelts sign isn’t on. But I don’t really care about that part, shit happens

  Planes shouldn’t be dodging each other in the first place… That’s the actual problem here. I don’t blame the pilot either, they avoided a collision, so as far as I’m concerned they did what they had to do

  The situation itself never should have happened

    i dont even know what youre trying to state or argue. seatbelts should be worn by all seated passengers at all times to mitigate risk of injury in case something that shouldn’t happen does end up happening. obviously there are exceptions like when people need to piss and shit.

      No duh. I don’t care if a few people got slammed into the ceiling

      I care that two planes almost collided and killed everyone

      Why even consider the seat belts? They’re not the real issue here
