What an insight. I think we should also cut the ridiculous budget enjoyed by NTSB, because 99.99% of all airplanes currently in service has never crashed.

- monochromatic 9y agoYour comment makes sense iff the purpose of airplanes IS to crash.
- jsgo 9y agoalright, to the response, how about "I think we should also cut the ridiculous budget enjoyed by NTSB, because 0.01% of all airplanes currently in service have crashed"? I'd actually argue that aircraft that have crashed are no longer in service and flights that were successful or grounded vs flights involving mechanical failure leading to crashes is probably at a safer percentage than 0.01% (though not certain of said percentage), but I think the general point stands.
