There's not much that's more life-affirming than a brush with death like yours, Pete. I suggest you celebrate. Have some pfun and njoy yourself.

Let me be clear: I like the joke, not the actual, ahem, "apparatus".

That was out of 50 odd right? Damning statistic

People shouldn't be allowed to fly planes.

First step is taking away people from behind the wheel of cars.

Would you trust a machine to fly you around?

The answer is that the machine can think faster, react faster, take into account all the system status instantaneously, doesn't get prone to fatigue.

The computer might crash though. There's no real difference in that scenario though, if a plane suffers electrical failure you're doomed if there's humans in the cockpit or not.

Bump!!

Suicidal pilots are becoming the biggest risk of all.
