What NASA Won't Tell You About Air Safety

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Monday October 22, 2007 @07:35AM from the wtb-better-drugs dept.

rabble writes "According to a report out of Washington, NASA wants to avoid telling you about how unsafe you are when you fly. According to the article, when an $8.5M safety study of about 24,000 pilots indicated an alarming number of near collisions and runway incidents, NASA refused to release the results. The article quotes one congressman as saying 'There is a faint odor about it all.' A friend of mine who is a general aviation pilot responded to the article by saying 'It's scary but no surprise to those of us who fly.'"

ELECTRICAL fire. With all these IN-FLIGHT entertainment and goodies, its easier day by day to cause havoc on an air plane. Just rip open or screw open the in-flight ENTERTAINMENT center, tv or whatever and short circuit it.
