I think they are making a very solid point. Deregulation of a heavily regulated industry that has worked like clockwork is being gutted in America. Privatizing things like air travel creates situations like this. I think it’s a little mean spirited and unfair to call this person a troll, if they are trolling they are still making a good point in this comment.
Think of it, of the thousands and thousands of flights every day, are there avg more private flights that crash/malfunction or commercial? I’d bet money on the answer before even looking it up.
i don't think it stands in this case, per my last comment. as a general sentiment, maybe, but not here.
even if it did, the comment is still in bad taste
How is it in bad taste to speak about ways to save lives and prevent events like this? It’s literally people’s jobs to figure this stuff out when these kinds of tragedies happen. And it’s a good thing to prevent these kinds of things. And what does? Regulation.
