Unequivocally the safest way to travel, statistically, but when things go this wrong it is more or less impossible for anyone on board to survive. I'm just thankful it didn't hit a building or anything
I couldn't bring myself to listen to the audio
That's not true, crash survival is actually higher than one might naively expect. It's just that the more violent crashes get the most exposure - and even for those you can get lucky like the one guy who walked of the Air India crash last year.
And to even have a crash at all will usually need more than one thing to go wrong.
Yesterday I saw some post on Threads where some guy vibe coded / recreated the flight path and ATC / pilot convo moment by moment in 3D. Incredibly poor taste, and I'm disappointed this is considered 'normal'.
