I was somewhat thinking of the passengers.
- sam_lowry_ 3y agoMechanical stress, they mean.
- Kye 3y agoPlanes have to be sturdy and flexible to handle the environment they spend most of their time cruising in. This is probably nothing next to the turbulence planes are expected to shrug off while maintaining a ground level environment eight miles up for decades of service life.

- Kye 3y agoSeems like not much: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUyYxWFFTpI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUyYxWFFTpI I wonder if the passengers would even notice if they weren't warned to expect it. From what I understand, they don't let the front down until they're nearly stopped in these situations. You can tell when the nose drops, and it barely seems to register aside from the scraping noise and a little shaking.
- marcosdumay 3y agoPassengers happen to be surprisingly fragile.
- colejohnson66 3y agoWell, if the pilots are indeed trained on how to handle these situations, the passengers will be fine. Maybe a bit shaken up from having to evacuate on the tarmac (especially if they have a fear of flying), but they'll be fine.
- stef25 3y agoFlying for me ain't fun but as soon the bird is on the ground I'm all good!
- slumberlust 3y agoAye, but cross runway collisions are still a thing. I rest at the gate :D
- throwway120385 3y agoAny landing that you can walk away from is a good landing.
- throwawaymobule 3y agobased on the photos, they did pop the slides on this incident. but evacuations are often not called in these situations if there isn't a fire or something. there's a real risk of injury from evacuating, so it needs consideration by the pilot.
- Traubenfuchs 3y ago> I was somewhat thinking of the passengers. Everything that happened was well within the stress tolerance parameters of the majority of involved humans as well.
- jwestbury 3y agoThe prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder would disagree.
- tekla 3y agoPeople are free to not use airplanes if a designed for maneuver gives them PTSD.
- NoZebra120vClip 3y ago> People are free to not use airplanes if a designed for maneuver gives them PTSD. You know, that's insensitive in terms of minimizing the suffering endured by people with bona fide PTSD, as well as dismissive. Because what do you suggest as an alternative? Drive an automobile, with higher accident rates than air travel? Walk across the street in traffic? Life is dangerous, choose your poison. I personally appreciate aviators and all air crews for really going all-in to make flying safe and tolerable, if not enjoyable. When I think of some of the crazy train or bus rides I've had, air travel is pretty amazing in comparison, especially at a bargain price. And I do suffer from (complex) PTSD, but thankfully such an incident as in TFA would not particularly trigger an episode. Thanks for caring.
- piva00 3y agoHere you can see a YT Shorts that a passenger inside the flight shot, it's actually much less stressful than I imagined: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/W12w7NkqGCM https://www.youtube.com/shorts/W12w7NkqGCM
- mindslight 3y agoWhat's the actual point of Youtube Sharts? It just seems like encouragement for people to film vertically and not frame the shot well. And on the watching side you're pushed into a needlessly unfriendly UI. Like I generally just use the YT web interface and don't go out of my way to routinely yt-dlp or Newpipe, but now I might have to change that.

- 4ggr0 3y ago> What's the actual point of Youtube Shorts? To be an alternative to TikTok, or Instagram Reels, or other short-form video platforms.
- mindslight 3y agoSure, I meant for the people actually using it. Like if you want TikTok just continuing using TikTok, which you know is "mobile-first" and thus craptastic in a regular browser but presumably you don't care. But Google seems to have just blindly copied TikTok and enshittified their existing product to push it, when they could have integrated it into normal Youtube and made something better than both.
- 4ggr0 3y agoWell I can talk about myself :) I don't want TikTok. Mostly because I don't want to use yet another app or account. Then there's the thing about it being from China, but to be honest, as a European it doesn't reeeally matter to me if an app is from the US or China. I did actually try TikTok during the pandemic but became too addicted due to constant WFH and boredom. I have Instagram because I like to upload my favorite pictures. Then they started with Reels, I checked it out, liked it, so I now use it. When I feel like Reels bore me, or that the algo seems to currently push things I don't care about[0], I switch over to YT Shorts. There, the youtubers I'm already subscribed to upload shorter videos and I generally see different kinds of videos. Instagram mostly shows me memes and cat videos. YT shorts is more about stand-up comedy bits, science stuff etc. So my usage of these apps depends on how I currently feel like. [0] Both Insta and YT sometimes start to flood me with content about annoying Entrepreneur/Online Marketing bs, Andrew Tate or far(ish)-right-wing trash or half-naked women. No amount of "not interested" seems to help, so I either switch app or do something else.
