    Yeah it happens every now and then they can fly on one engine you know for a long time. There's nowhere a plane goes that in case this happens they can't make it to an airport every plane is different stop making it so dramatic so a bunch of people that don't know anything about commercial aviation can say oh my gosh 😱 ALOT of things go into making flying by far the safest mode of transportation

    As a frequent flyer I feel bad for pilots / air hostess !! Most of them are Obese and people dont understand why. That suffocating dry cabin air + bad high calorie airport food is horrible for plane workers.. I dont know if they have flight trainings to avoid this as I see more and more matured Pilots specially been fallen for this !!

    So then wait until the plane catches fire to do a maintenance review they should have done that before takeoff they should do daily maintenance checks every time the airplane land. Before anyone board the plane they should do a thorough inspection of the engine, make sure this field make sure there will be no obstacles

    I don’t live in the US, but why does it seem like whenever there is an aviation issue making the headlines it’s always Southwest Airlines?! I would never fly with this airline

    25 years; he was dedicated to that pilot life. Its a shame he wasn't surrounded by his loved ones but as a pilot of 25 years I'm sure he died doing what he loved to do. 💔
