To be fair the other recent one was a helicopter, which are death machines constantly at odds with gravity. I think the zeppelin is the only other worse mode of air transport. Much respect to rotary pilots, but you won’t catch me riding in a helicopter.

I did helicopter accident investigation while in the Army. Got to ride a very cool research Blackhawk, one of the first UH-60Ms, and play with a huge full motion simulator. I’ll pass on the future helicopter rides, I got my fill while in the service. Autorotation is nifty, but I’ll take the much simpler gliding of fixed wing if I want to get high in the future. I don’t want my pilot trying to remember how best to autorotate the helicopter in current conditions, while also trying to figure out what’s happening, all with relatively low altitude to get it sorted in.
If anything I’ve learned you don’t want to stack the odds against you when it comes to aviation safety. Preferring fixed wing over rotary is part of my safety considerations.

No no, we need Trump to keep flying on his rickety old plane for a few more months. This one is important.
Was it a boeing?
It would almost have to be at this point, but only if it was an actual accident and not the result of violence.
So is this good or bad? I’m an American and I’ve never heard anything about this country’s government.
