Are you OK?

If that were true, they wouldn’t need to patch things.

Corollary: your Linux computer can get hacked, too.

No, not even if its price was $470.

Planes generally do not get rear-ended or t-boned in collisions. Cars do. This is one of the reasons for the thickness.

Can we get these seats in cars please?  Current seats weigh a lot and take up a lot of room.

Make them as thin as you want. I’ll just keep getting fatter.

I would like to see the Venn diagram for the “Don’t fly the Max” and “Don’t get the vax” groups. I think we’d have a pretty good overlap. 

Agreed. I clicked 100% expecting to read a story about some girl in an SUV running down a cyclist. This was not at all what I expected.

I just checked the wear bars on my Model 3 yesterday. I am about due... after 51000 miles.

The 757 predates that merger by a very long time having entered service 11 years prior with the very newest built only a few years after, by which time they barely sold at all. The last 757 was built 20 years ago.

Actually, they are notorious for cleanliness and you can’t enter an eating area (specifically buffets) without being hounded to wash your hands. Unfortunately, some passengers board even knowing that they are ill. If crew finds this out, you are immediately quarantined to your cabin.

It wasn’t a new window in a new plane that failed out of the blue. The plane had been in service for a number of years. Things break. 

I’ll repeat myself and say that transparencies are a wear item. It is incumbent on ANA and all other airlines to inspect wear items at regular intervals and to take the aircraft out of service and replace the item if it is no longer within spec. If ANA sees premature wear on a transparency, they should contact the
