You know it is really kinda ironic, but, right before US air in the hudson, 3407, Air france, Yemen started... there was a Times article talking about how there had not been a single US air carrier fatality in 2 years... since Lex.
I think that happened 2 days before a couple of geese turned an A320 into a party boat. The day you say ,"look at how safe we are", is the day something happens.
I wonder how the news media would spin the fact that the 2 deadliest commercial aviation events, Tenerife and 9/11, were all "major" airlines. Heck, the KLM captain was one of the most experienced pilots KLM had.
I am by no means saying AWAC is unsafe, or that any of you are unsafe... just seems that Hunter Fate likes to aim for those who boast of beating her.
Absolutely. I could eat crow tomorrow, or next week, or next month. I sure as hell hope not, but I agree it could happen.
I'm not really sure how you are classifying 9/11 as the same thing as screwing up and killing people.
