  • I don’t think a flight has ever had a crowd crush event.

    The largest passenger plane is an Airbus A380 with a typical passenger capacity of 575. And that’s split between two decks. Most crowd crush events involve twice that amount of people all heading the same direction while the people in front have nowhere to go. And most crowd crush events are a result of building code violations such as emergency exits that open inwards.

    Planes don’t really allow for crowd crushes to happen. Every person would have to be trying to get to the same emergency exit at the front of the plane, and if you’re mid flight why would anybody be trying to get to any exit?

    Just stay in your seat and it’s highly improbable to be crushed to death.



  • It’s the 10th amendment. All other 9 amendments and many thereafter are in relation to human rights.

    And states rights and human rights can actually go hand in hand, as seen by state legislatures that have passed assisted suicide, same-sex marriage, and legal cannabis laws. It has also been used to ensure electors cast their vote for the nominee or candidate who received the most votes from the people.

    Unfortunately it’s also been co-opted as a racist, misogynist dog whistle.

    Fahrenheit: 0=cold, 50=mild, 100=hot
    Celsius: 0=moderately cold, 50=dangerously hot, 100=dead

    It makes no difference to me if the boiling point of water is 100°C or 212°F, if I see it boiling the pasta goes in.

    In a scientific context Celsius and metric in general are superior without a doubt. But to live my life Fahrenheit works just fine.
