[QUOTE="dudebro, post: 4020451, member: 11234"] Maybe, but what you don't have in this article are all the times the technology saved lives because the people on the flight simply arrived at their destination none the wiser. People keep assuming tech will have to be perfect. I would like it to be, and that's the goal because all deaths are tragic, but the goalpost isn't perfection, it's just "better than people". Next thing someone will do is bring up a guy like Sully who landed the Airbus on the Hudson River, but, every person is not as good as he was either. A lot of people suck. For instance, the Continental (now United) crash in Buffalo occurred because the pilot repeatedly DISREGARDED the tech, which was BEGGING him to lower altitude and pick up air speed and he kept overriding it because he was so focused on chatting up the female copilot.
