It depends on the design of the specific device. A buoyancy aid with a foam collar will do it, but is less comfortable to wear. With an inflatable life jacket, to collar is not noticeable until it inflates.

IIRC non-canard aircraft can have this happen when the stall causes the plane to fall at an angle where the wake turbulence of the wings covers the elevators.

You have a bunch of weasel words there that are doing some heavy lifting: "majority", "actual" and "overwhelmingly". It's not possible to run a functioning country (which SA undeniably is) without a large

That was possible 30 years ago. There have been probably been a dozen schemes that tried something like that over the decades, starting with DigiCash from before the WWW existed. They all failed not because of fees, not because of security

The smoke was likely from the engines running at full reverse to avoid the collision. But the ship lost power (you can see its lights going out in the video) and thus the ability to steer.

The ship loses power before the turn. The power loss could of course have been the result of a cyber attack, but a mundane mechanical failure seems more likely.
