If We Need a Thread for a Spike in Plane Crashes

Actually, next three vacations are now driving based.

I’ve solved this issue for myself by not being able to afford to go on vacation.

No, dufus. Do you think Canadian planes fly to the US using only Canadian ATC?

On the other hand, the FAA does work with manufacturers and issues airworthiness directives.

As this aircraft was Canadian made, at a Canadian airport, the FAA had less to do with it, than say one of Air Canada's Boeings.

You should stick to snowmobiles, something Bombardier actually did well.

Smart

Sorry, i must have missed this

Did @Tererune not die/get let out of jail or is someone actually insane enough to try and mimic the account?

Yes I think that is someone formerly known as Steve.
Wait, aren't you Steve?!

We're all Tererereun.

I guess it is a good thing that the Portland-Amsterdam route was formally taken over by KLM from Delta then, even with the daily flight reduction to every other day.

Yeah, but Air Canada had such a bad reputation that when they started flights to and from the US they changed the name on the planes that flew to the States to Allegeny Air.

TMZ has video of the plane landing and then almost immediately rolling over.

Oh, and since I know we're all wondering who made the plane, the answer is Bombardier. Which, I feel the need to point out, is a fucking Canadian company. So, you moosefuckers can't blame Boeing's shitty workmanship for this fuck up.

Allegeny Air used to be All American Airlines, an airline founded in Pittsburgh.

The Bombardier CRJ series aircraft began production in 1991 and have had an exceptional flight record until 2025... when three American carriers were involved in separate incidents due to pilot error. In fact, with the exception of one incident, all fatal accidents involving the CRJ were due to pilot error. (Still waiting to see what happened in Toronto yesterday.)

The craftsmanship on that Bomabrdier is quite impressive, I think were it a Boeing there would have been no survivors

That's just because there was snow on the runway.

Steve is in here with us.

Eh, it's been 20+ years since I read the book that talked about it, so I may have gotten the name Air Canada operated under when they started in the US wrong. As someone who flew a couple of times before deregulation fucked up US airlines, it used to be quite nice to fly on planes here.

My point, exactly. This wasn't a shitty plane, this was a good plane, and there's going to be a lot of questions asked about what went wrong.

There's a lot I could say about why flying Canadian airlines into the States might not be as safe as you might think. But I'll just point out that Elon undoubtedly thinks that he can replace air traffic controllers with AI systems. So, even if your Canadian made, and maintained, plane manages to avoid being fucked up by an American ground crew, you still have to contend with the fact that there's a shitty AI system running the ATC system in the US, or if there's a human that the pilots flying your plane are talking to in the tower, that person is over-worked and handling more flights at one time than they should.

If I were you, I'd avoid taking any flight, regardless of carrier, that crossed into US airspace for quite some time.

My wife mostly works from home but has to fly to Boston every few weeks for in-person stuff at the main office.

I'm more than a little concerned right now.

Peter from Mentour Pilot gives his initial analysis of the crash.

Juan Brown (a VERY experienced pilot) of the BlancoLirio Youtube channel had an interesting take on this incident. One of the possibilities is that with gusty winds it's possible that there was a last-minute lull in the wind just before touchdown, which would have robbed the relative airspeed needed to make a smooth landing.

This doesn't count. Wealthy stupid people killing each other in expensive toys.

Well done.

Delta flight makes emergency landing at LAX due to smoke on board

It's an Airbus, so you can't blame Boeing for the problem, and supposedly, Delta had one of the best safety records of an American airline until recently...

Legedes Benz yaaaas!

Also, that accent is beautiful

This one was a Boeing.

Delta released a statement explaining that due to this haze in their eyes, multiple passengers had to restrained after attempting to reportedly kiss the sky.
