2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

Why do so many "important" people die in plane crashes in the past couple of decades?

  • Andy Cecere (2026 - US Bank)

  • Joshua Base (2026 - Capital Factory)

  • Christophe de Margerie (2014 - Total energies)

  • Petr Kelner (2021 - PPF Group)

  • Kobe Bryant (2020)

  • Glen de Vries (2021 - Medidata Solutions)

  • Gary Knopp ( 2020 - politician)

  • Steve Appleton (2012 - Micron CEO)

  • Cheryl heinze ( 2012 - politician)

  • Alison Des Forges ( 2009 - human right investigator)

  • Beverly Eckert (2009 - activist on 9/11 committee)

  • wilhemson executives in 2012

  • Now the CEO of Ubisoft in 2026

That is just in the US, so many other rich businessmen have also died in plane crashes in other countries. Romania, Italy, Brazil, Russia, etc... Are aircraft crashes just way more common than the companies want us to believe? I was always told that airplanes were statistically safer than cars.

Also why are plane crashes so often surrounded in suspicious circumstances like the IBM plane crash where a ton of executives were killed and immediately following the other IBM execs pivoted the company focus (which kind of led to their downfall in the consumer market).
