1. Too late- I already bought tickets

This shit is getting to me though. I hate flying in the first place.

6. And some have to fly due to work.

[Alliepoo]

2. Holy Cow! It's a good thing that pilot saw the

Cross plane in time to pull up and give it the gas. He did good.

3. So, was that a Tower error, or was the small jet piolet or passanger just so entitled

they thought physics doesn't matter?

5. Most likely it's the small jet's failure

they would be talking to ground control, the plane landing to the tower. As I understand it, the small jet was not cleared by ground to taxi across the runway.

13. Ah, so the entitlement thing. I have enough $ to charter or own my own jet, so BEEP BEEP outta my way

Figured that would be the most likely case.

7. Indiscriminately firing staff can bring this type of stuff no matter who it is.

4. Good reaction by the pilot

but to be put into context, "near-miss" were at record levels in 2023 (1,700) and in 2024 with over 1,100 incidences in the US.

Not that it won't get worse with the tinkering by the aristocrats (or rather the aristocats)

8. That downward trend under Biden's final year looks to reverse itself and spike to an all-time record under Trump.

10. May turn out that way

[City Lights]

9. I have never liked flying.

I do it when I have to. It is definitely riskier since the know-nothing idiots took over the government. I plan to avoid flying if at all possible.

11. It's still safer than any other transportation option

How common are car accidents? So common they don't make the news.

[City Lights]

12. True, but I still don't like flying and won't unless I have to. nt

[uponit7771]

15. That's true... This shit is being highlighted cause Benedict Donald is screwing with crap

[Attilatheblond]

14. I'm beginning to worry about just being on the ground and still involved in some airplane mishap.

Knew a guy who was driving on a desert road and got hit by a plane.

16. Yikes! nt
