stuff like this is why i'm lowkey terrified of flying also this isn't a shitpost

[–] Hudell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 6 days ago (1 children)

So you'd rather stick to the ground, where you can't dive to avoid an oncoming vehicle?

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago

Yeah, shitpost needs some better moderation. Shitpost has literally just become post whatever you want. And if that's what it is, I guess that's what it is, but the term "shitpost" to me had always been someone coming and derailing serious threads with nonsense opinions, unrelated pics, etc. So silly trolling.

This post is a picture of a tweet about a near mid-air collision. Unless the second plane was just fucking around, shitflying as they say, I don't know that it qualifies for the low, low bar that is shitposting.

I can assure you some pants were shit on that flight

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Put your fking seatbelts on. All the time.

[–] Ele7en7@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

If only there were a device to keep you in your seat when something like this happens

Jimmy Dore is not a reliable source.

This is very dangerous. Time to remove regulations for collision warning systems on airplanes, so dangerous maneuvers like this don’t happen in the future

Tap for spoiler/s

[–] MisterD@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days ago

Time a different kind of fireworks.

The kind that only happens near airports. Hopefully, some of the billionaires who wanted this shit will be part of the fireworks

Fuck Jimmy Dore, he turned against the queers. Last I saw a video of him interviewing with some bad-faith transmedicalist harassing people at pride acting all innocent like "I'm just asking questions" - his loud mouth was good as 2016 was going down but of course loudmouths don't always know when to shut it.

[–] PolydoreSmith@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yeah Jimmy Dore fucks around with Alex Jones. They can both go to hell

You have to admit it'd be pretty shitty to run into another airplane in the sky though?

TCAS is working overtime to make up for the years of neglecting the FAA.

[–] SpermHowitzer@sh.itjust.works 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

TCAS warnings initially come up about 90 seconds before a potential collision, and a resolution advisory comes up about 60 seconds before a collision. A resolution advisory is obviously a serious situation, but it’s early enough that the climb or descent commands are really not anything crazy, not anything outside a normal climb or descent. No one should be hitting the ceiling if a tcas resolution is flown properly.

[–] Skunk@jlai.lu 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (5 children)

Once the flight smoothed out, Ulasewicz, who was traveling to Las Vegas, said the pilot made an announcement indicating the plane used software to avoid a midair collision.

Apparently it was right before catering service and well into AP flight. As a europoor I only master Airbus so I don’t know how a 737 is supposed to respond to a TA/RA.

Let’s wait for better sources than twitter and nbc.
