Different takes, but they’re not in disagreement. I saw Juan’s breakdown first. Mentour’s explanation goes into more detail, but Juan gave me the gist. One thing he said that remained in my mind was that sometimes experienced pilots get complacent, and that can lead to an error in judgement. I’m not a pilot, but this statement has broader applications beyond aviation!

@rick15666 What are you jetting at?

Very true about margins. I’m a motorcycle rider, which some consider to be a lapse in judgement itself. A biker needs to avoid piling on more lapses and running out of road. I used to live not far from some beautiful winding canyon roads, and almost every weekend, some squid failed to make a curve. The worst aftermath I saw was some kid that leaned over the centerline into oncoming traffic. There were worse fatalities, but the rider ended up at the bottom of a cliff, so I can’t claim to have witnessed anything beyond S&R preparing to rappel.

@reconx86 This one time I was driving with my girlfriend, and we parked in a quiet place to make out. While we were kissing there was a news bulletin on the radio. Some psycho had escaped from the local mental hospital for the criminally insane . . . Wait, I think this is the wrong video for this story. I forgot how it’s related. . . Oh, yeah. The police caught the psycho, but my girlfriend gave me a venereal disease that night. It burned like fire when I peed. That’s why the video reminded me of the story. It really burned.

@hairyairey To be fair, someone thought it was possible. And the people who’s job it is to think about possible threats didn’t. Funny story: after 9/11, CIA convened several meetings/working groups of writers to brainstorm unlikely but possible threat scenarios to close that imaginative gap. I don’t think it was a wasted effort.
