Now post the gifs of the F-35 brutally killing test pilots so often that they had to ground it until they could get it to stop turning off when it rains, or somebody flies over the international date line

Crazist thing about this? It was the pilot's third hijacking. quote:Leul had been in two previous hijackings. The first, was on 12 April 1992 on Flight ETH574, a Boeing 727-260. Two hijackers with hand grenades entered the cockpit. Leul was forced to fly to Nairobi. The second was on 17 March 1995, flying a Boeing 737-260. The hijackers held a hostess hostage, entered the cockpit and told Leul to fly to Sweden. In both cases, Leul had landed safely and no one was hurt.

God knows that there would be a passenger equivalent of the F35 in the air if wasn't for them. E: Well, maybe not in the air considering the F35

Some of the Sheep posted:poo poo can go wrong, but the overall safety record of the aviation industry is peerless. When they say you're more likely to crash in a car than a plane, do they include crashes at 20-30 mph with 5 point airbags and seatbelts and crumple zones etc etc because I'm pretty sure "more likely to crash but will walk away vs into a mountain at 600mph" is a more accurate saying. ...Wanna replace the girl with Predator.

Private airlines are safe because crashing airplanes is exceedingly expensive. Private space programs will be safe as long as blowing up rockets is also exceedingly expensive. It's when mistakes aren't expensive that you get lovely privatization examples and cut corners (see, Prisons). Private markets do a pretty decent job of gauging risk and acting in their own best interests. Does not include banks.

Most airplane incidents are benign things you can walk away from, like skidding off of runways or bumping into other planes on the tarmac. Running into the ground at terminal velocity makes for great headlines, but actual fatalities in aviation accidents are fantastically rare.

People prefer sensation over statistics. Something like 3 billion passengers take a flight every year, and there are only around 400 fatalities per year. You're 6,000.00% more likely to die falling down (6.3 deaths per 100,000)

They really really aren't (look at any disaster caused by poor/outdated safety measures) but also here's some assorted gifs.        (Thanks http://obscurevideogames.tumblr.com/)

What's important is when comparing number of deaths per passenger mile traveled, airplanes are an order of magnitude safer than cars. However, It would be disingenuous to attribute that ENTIRELY TO THE INVISIBLE HAND OF THE FREE MARKET. Many factors are present, including the rigorousness of the training required to pilot each mode of transportation.

How does spaceflight hold up on that front if you consider that the ISS orbits the Earth in just over 90 minutes and has been crewed for 5639 days? Quick and dirty calculations say that's 3735273600 kilometers traveled. And then there's all the other stuff people have been in space for and the other space stations that have been and still are.

Geemer posted:http://i.imgur.com/aebGDz8.gifv How many people travelled that distance in the ISS? And how many travelled in airplanes? Whoever pointed out that pilots have more training is right: the government has interfered in the free market to regulate safety in airlines.

Many factors are present, including the rigorousness of the training required to pilot each mode of transportation. Also, the airline industry was basically a private-public partnership up until the '80s. You had 30 years of intense government regulation and standards setting behavior that the industry was built off of. Also, it's still heavily regulated. If you want to see the results of a flight market that's close to an unregulated private market you should just look at Alaska. Whole lot of puddle jumpers and very little oversight means that the state's air safety record is garbage. quote:The general aviation accident rate in Alaska is much higher than across the rest of the country. ("General aviation" means private planes, as opposed to commercial airliners, which don't crash in Alaska any more than they do in the rest of the United States.) In the last decade, Alaska had 1,188 accidents, compared with an average of 351 accidents in each of the 50 states. The rate is so disproportionate that the Federal Aviation Administration singles out Alaska in its annual performance goals http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/2010/08/nofly_zone.html and http://www.airspacemag.com/flight-today/alaskas-crash-epidemic-70259395/?no-ist El Mero Mero has a new favorite as of 02:09 on Apr 12, 2016 |

Whole lot of puddle jumpers and very little oversight means that the state's air safety record is garbage. Saying GA is "close to unregulated" is asinine. It's just as regulated (heavily) as it in in the other 49 states, the difference is that a big chunk of the GA market in the other states isn't flying into and out of extremely remote areas where there aren't even any airstrips, let alone controllers or ASOS broadcasts.
