By the way, to me, 1 in a million accidents is one too many when profit is put ahead of people's lives and in this case recommendations for end of runway is another 1000 feet - not a requirement though.
Other S. Korean airlines also have similar obstacles at the end of their runways. As well, their culture is such that if a Captain or more senior crew is making mistakes, the other crew will not confront that crew member. Also, fatigue may play a part in this crash because they left Thailand at around 2:30 am - and landed at the tail end of when those seabirds were still active, around 9 am, in the area. And there were suppose to be four employees chasing birds away but only one person was on duty.
Also, as for injuries while wearing seatbelts in planes, here's a quick AI google search:
You want a 100% safe way to travel, where nothing ever goes wrong, or if it does, everyone survives. Why don’t we just wrap everyone in bubble wrap, or ban traveling altogether. It’s the only way any method of travel will ever be perfectly safe. There is no such thing as a 100% safe way to travel, and there never will be.
People’s trauma and fatalities does little to improve safety? Are you serious? How do you think we’ve had years with no fatalities? Or the US hasn’t had a fatal crash of a commercial survey since the Colgan accident? It sure as hell isn’t because the industry has ignored previous accidents.
Yes, injuries will happen wearing seatbelts in an accident. They happen with car seatbelts and air bags too. They’d happen with a five point harness too.
Logic is dead. Long live BS.
