Jeju Air 737 crash South Korea

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.

And yet smoke still gets into the cockpit and passenger cabin, and large bird strikes still cause enough damage that planes have to mayday, and passengers still do not have harnesses only seatbelts, and airport runways still follow the minimum requirements and not the recommendations, and plane parts are faulty and there still is no safety oversight inspections, and landing gear is still dependent on the engine functioning but with time-consuming and cumbersome manual landing gear protocols.

I am listening to pilots' blogs and all of them are confused as to the decision-making of these two pilots, just saying. I am waiting to learn what the S. Korean authorities find lacking with crew/staff training and resources, not to mention their airport design decisions. Why is will be interesting is that some pilots on their blogs say that the S. Korean operational training and protocols are similar worldwide.

Why not have a bubble-type protective devices be available to people on planes to further protect them from flying debris and fire?

Profit over people's lives, that's why.

Now that S. Korean authorities have handed over the flight recorder to the U.S. for investigation, one SK official is already accusing the U.S. that their final assessment will favour Boeing and blame it all on S. Korean failings.

Is Boeing being protected by U.S. government because $$$? There's a conspiracy theory for everyone.
