    I’ve read far too many post-incident reports on fatal plane crashes and their root causes - almost all of which were because humans took shortcuts in maintenance, repair, or design on the plane. Also the occasional traffic controller or pilot who fucked up bigtime.

      I would rather ride my shitty 1984 Honda trail across the continental US than step on a plane. Mostly because I know the jackass who does repairs on my bike.
