- Bobbcatt 6y agoPilots are definitely not sleeping on landing.
- occamrazor 6y agoWe are discussing high altitude flyovers here.
- ithkuil 6y agoScenario: inexperienced/bad pilot misjudges fuel consumption (badly manages energy / height transitions) and requires emergency landing somewhere in EU because it cannot reach London
- iso1210 6y agoExceptionally unlikey a pilot would be able to crash a plane at 30,000 foot. Far more likely that a medical emergency would lead to a pilot landing at an unfamiliar airport and crashing the plane into block of houses.
