I can’t believe people are going up into the air on these metal death traps invented by cancer-ridden engineers with cancer-ridden pilots behind the wheels 😂
@Gfy Starshine pilots are classified as occupational radiation workers by the FAA. Pilots get more radiation because they don’t have as much atmosphere to protect them. The FAA also limits the amount of radiations pilots can get every year.
@jman: True! No more than 50mSv per year, as per AC 120-61B. Though we don’t have radiation monitors/badges. We rely solely on computer models to estimate radiation exposure. And it’s usually such low amounts that it’s perfectly harmless.
I can’t believe people get into the metal death traps called cars. The last completely fatal airline crash in the US was 2009. There’s nearly 100,000 flights per day. You sir, are the DEFINITION of ignorant.
You ok there Beth?
I’ll bet you drive on public roads which gives you a faaaaaaar better chance of being in an accident. Statistically one of the worst things we do is drive or ride on our roads. Yet you probably don’t bat an eye at that.
Austin needs an airport overhaul all the way around. They chance a collision every time a plane pushes back without coordination, as they do there!
better then the old Austin airport was guess you didnt fly out of there as much as I did over the years its ATC and the FAA that have mucked things up
Austin is not that busy you have to stack them that close. The controller screwed up.
This is one reason why we need high speed rail
we have a big money pit in California that goes no where, large states, aircraft are more efficient and cheaper transport, unless a large amount of freight is involved
@lu tomson so many ignorant statements so little words. Kind of impressive tbh
I really wish we had a bullet train.
Hahaha ok joe 😂
German trains 🚃 are the best! Japanese ones are pretty good too.
Not ever trusted in the world, just as every time it has ever been.
One lucky one , its too many already!
Guess air traffic controllers were busy cleaning their guns
The ATC is the wrong skin color.
He can’t b fired. He has a long history of screw ups

ATC are working from home
Sounds like the bare minimum was achieved by a generation that got trophies for showing up. what did you expect? exceptionalism?
thats the guy on the air crash disaster episodes
Ah, what’s a small piece of a wing ? 🤷🏾♂️
Texas showing us why Repub states are at the bottom of the barrel. Again.
The ATC is the wrong skin color
Can’t be fired. Can’t be mentioned
One traffic controller gonna be on probation/suspension/fire.
He will not be fired..promoted..mayby.
This is why we need nuclear energy
it is the ATC tower fault
