- Why don't planes have parachutes? like a huge parachute that pops on stall to slowly descent the plane?by brador
- Sad for this.
I am wondering: what's the data on how safe, or unsafe, "private" planes are, e.g. compared to commercial jets?
- Bad two weeks for aviation.

- >Guillemot helped transform Ubisoft from a mail-order software business into one of the world's largest video game companies
Wrong, Guillemot and his family greedy, destroyed one of the most successful gaming companies in the gaming history.
If you have been following the gaming space within the last 5 years or so, it is safe to say that he won't be missed, and it opens the door for Tecent to bring the Ubisoft back to its glory if that is even possible at this stage.

- My Dad, a flight instructor, loves to remind me that there are bold pilots and old pilots. But there are no old bold pilots.by seanvk
- I briefly entertained flying planes as a hobby. I live next to a small-ish local airfield and a coworker of mine got his license there. Then I learned more about it, and there's way to many accidents like these for me to be comfortable with the risk I'd be taking.
I have no issue with flying commercial planes, but I guess I don't trust myself _and_ the smaller planes enough to do this.
RIP Claude, horrible way to die.
