    Guys, Boeing's and modern airlines' safety guides state that its the duty of some passengers to assist the flight crew by holding onto the wings so they don't fall off in transit. God, don't you guys read the safety pamphlets in the seat pockets?

    I wonder how many people it will take to die from corporate negligence before some society starts doing something about the whole issue of corporations deciding saving money is more important than people's lives? Because we're already in pretty fuckin' deep in terms of lives crushed and ended mercilessly at the altar of "but it saves us money and makes us more profit" going back to the Ford Pinto and earlier.

    I have this game when some official gets arrested for some sort of pedophile/ child abuse thing where I always guess they're republican (or equivalent in other countries), and I'm almost always right.

    I should start it up for plane incidents and Boeing.

    I try to avoid dangerous engineering products as much as possible these days.

    I don't trust the social media generation to make planes and rollercoasters safe.

    Boeing offshoring wing production to an undeveloped country was a mistake.
