Leave Taylor alone!
I have not spoken to him about his concerns, so I can only voice my own knowledge:
On the basis of research I’ve performed since beginning what was supposed to be a short article almost 10 years ago - and after reading hundreds of NTSB incident reports, not exclusive to fatal crashes - I concluded that failure to at least avoid certain airlines and aircraft types is astonishingly ignorant, notwithstanding the fact that what’s happening with Boeing/FAA right now would be a glaring red flag for a normally intelligent person...
I won’t argue with that. But I assume you aren’t hiring a pilot and renting the plane.
I’ve only flown by airline on 4 trips, all since 2011. It’s a bummer not being able to see the panel or out the front windshield.
20 mph STRAIGHT DOWN, vertical drop, not highway speed. Might feel more like 200 mph. Think falling from a first floor window - in one second. Nine hundred times over and over!
Are any technical details on this incident yet available?
I beg to differ:
To summarize, there have been 10 deaths (excluding 9/11, of course) due to Boeing commercial aircraft since 2000. Every one of these deaths was caused by human error. In that same time period, there were probably 750,000 deaths due to automobile deaths.
By the way, there are over 10,000 Boeing aircraft in service right now. How many are just dropping out of the sky daily? None? And I believe a 737 takes off every 30 seconds.

So, do you still agree with “It is astonishingly safe.” If you disagree, why?
Sorry - I should have prefaced that with “domestic aircraft incidents.”
Yep, in a free fall you’re weightless after a moment or two of 1G acceleration.
(I did some spins in a Citabria which were exciting)
According to the article, the airliner was descending at 2,000 feet per minute which is sedate compared to say 13,000 feet per minute in a free fall.
They lost a couple hundred in just the two Max crashes, so you might want to go back and count again.
“Well, that’s 1800 feet per minute. For a vertical velocity, that’s up there”
I use two thousand feet a minute all the time descending from cruise altitude. An emergency descent is usually more than four thousand feet per minute.
My data was on domestic, nor foreign, accidents.
Ok…so explain the chaos on board the aircraft then? Is that because the plane would descend at crazy angles, multiple planes etc? Like an elevator would have a smooth downward trajectory, one direction in one plane. Geometric plane, not airplane!
LOL!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 for originality!
