Noticing number of major planes incidents suddenly over last few weeks ...



I would love to see an analysis of whether airplanes are still the safest way to travel if windowed to the past 30 days.


Yes, but so far no theory or link about the new administration


There's a new administration in Canada?


It's an American plane, serviced and maintained by an American company, and flown by an American airline. Pretty sure they're referring to that.


Pretty sure the wind doesn't care about what country the plane is from.

Seems to me it was either unavoidable or Canadian air traffic control shouldn't have let them land in those conditions.

Nothing to do with Trump or the FAA, as much as people would like it to be.

Never let a crisis go to waste I guess?


The FAA will actually fully investigate this as the issue COULD be due to pilot error or equipment failure. So it is still potentially an issue outside of the weather.


Do you have a source or are you pulling that from nowhere?

Because the NTSB helps investigates. And the host country leads the investigation.

And yes it could be anything, but most likely it was the bad weather.

If you're going to speculate, go for the most likely one.


It was a Delta Airlines flight from Minneapolis so an American airline.


Perhaps you should look into the details of this story a little bit more ?


Google for Minneapolis Musk / Toronto Musk and the theory writes itself.


Is correlation not enough to start an investigation?
