What I mean is: a tire blows out and everyone’s dead.

It’s a bullshit system.

Sorry, aviators.

Aircraft are made on aluminium so a hunk of steel moving 120MPH from a blow tire is going to rip through the hull like a hot knife through butter. We could build planes out of titanium at 100X the cost of Al.

Tires blow all the time. There rarely are deaths.
