Put your fking seatbelts on. All the time.

bigkahuna1986@lemmy.ml 6 hours ago
This is Joe Biden s fault. I don’t mean he cut funding or anything like that, I mean he was literally flying the other plane. It was full of woke trans immigrants headed to Texas so Democrats can get more votes while simultaneously rigging the election.

Exactly. I don’t say those things at work anymore because they are too many of them.
I can’t help wondering if they are remorseful.
One thing I know is people don’t like to be told. I stop correcting them. The more we point out their flaws, the more irrationally they will hold on to the false beliefs

A fascinating theory I read is that MAGA is making a big deal out of Epstein because it provides an off-ramp that lets them save face.
Legit I’m like "bruh, you’re surprised that you’re billionaire ‘grab em by the pussy’, ‘accidentally’ walking into the miss teen usa, ‘I’d fuck my daughter if she wasn’t my daughter’ president is on a list of billionaire sexual predators? I’m glad that something finally looks like it might stick to him but c’mon guys.

They will instead irrationality believe that it’s working in their favour and be emboldened. They didn’t reach their position by being rational. Don’t let a bully tell you that you deserved it after he punches you in the face.

This is very dangerous. Time to remove regulations for collision warning, so dangerous maneuvers like this don’t happen in the future

Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 6 hours ago
Just to put this into perspective, here’s a visualization of the flight data. The two aircraft were never on a collision course. They slightly violated a 5-mile separation requirement: their closest point of approach was 4.85 miles. The pilot did need to respond to the TCAS alert, but that alert was very conservative.
neatchee@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
These conservative warnings exist for a reason, though. That being hundreds of lives at stake. What I think would be now interesting is to hear how often these types of events occurred before and after the layoffs at the FAA

Don’t planes have seatbelts? How did so many people manage to fly out of their seats?
Also friendly reminder to everybody that planes are still the safest mode of transportation by a significant margin
shane@feddit.nl 7 hours ago
Planes are the safest form of transportation if you look at safety per km travelled. If you look at other metrics, like safety per trip or per travel time then they are less safe than busses or trains.
mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 hours ago
Last time I posted something about this, it was downvoted to oblivion. Glad to see that didn’t happen here. There are some statistical quirks that make this obvious once you think about it though.
Planes tend to make long trips, so anything measured on a per-km basis is going to be wildly diluted. Something like a car will tend to make much shorter (but more frequent) trips, so the per-km stat won’t be diluted. But inversely, the per-trip stat will be diluted with cars, purely because they’re used much more often.

Marleyinoc@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
It sure feels like that margin has been shrinking in the last year or so.
AeonFelis@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
They have seatbelts, but for the most of the flight they are unused - you only need to buckle in during takeoff, landing, and if when encountering turbulence.
I guess there wasn’t enough time to get all the passengers to fasten their seatbelts before the collision?
18107@aussie.zone 5 hours ago
I wonder if you’ve ever listened to the part of the safety briefing before every flight where they instruct you to keep the seatbelt fastened throughout the entire flight.
Judging by the number of clicks I hear when the seatbelt light turns off, I’d say most people don’t.
stoly@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
You should always jagger the belt on unless you are standing up for some reason. This story is exactly why.
rollerbang@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
Where I fly they also always advise to remain fastener regardless of no immediate warnigs. Exactly for situations like this - and others.

Fuck Jimmy Dore, he turned against the queers. Last I saw a video of him interviewing with some bad-faith transmedicalist harassing people at pride acting all innocent like "I'm just asking questions" - his loud mouth was good as 2016 was going down but of course loudmouths don't always know when to shut it.

keep your seatbelt on or that might be true more ways than one.
normalexit@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
Sitting in an airport right now. Great.
SpermHowitzer@sh.itjust.works 19 hours ago
TCAS warnings initially come up about 90 seconds before a potential collision, and a resolution advisory comes up about 60 seconds before a collision. A resolution advisory is obviously a serious situation, but it’s early enough that the climb or descent commands are really not anything crazy, not anything outside a normal climb or descent. No one should be hitting the ceiling if a tcas resolution is flown properly.
Skunk@jlai.lu 18 hours ago
Once the flight smoothed out, Ulasewicz, who was traveling to Las Vegas, said the pilot made an announcement indicating the plane used software to avoid a midair collision.
Apparently it was right before catering service and well into AP flight. As a europoor I only master Airbus so I don’t know how a 737 is supposed to respond to a TA/RA.
Let’s wait for better sources.
SpermHowitzer@sh.itjust.works 6 hours ago
The 737 won’t fly an RA on autopilot. We have to disconnect the autopilot and auto throttle and hand fly it. There’ll be a red box on the PFD that we just keep the pitch outside of, and we’ll be fine.

TheGoldenV@lemmy.org 7 hours ago
That’s right. That’s why I always wear mine. Even if I have to get up to go to the bathroom or grab something- I still wear it. Sometimes the flight attendants get mad when I cut it off, but I remind them it’s for safety and they usually get it.
