Passenger with “no idea how to fly” lands plane after pilot incapacitated
I grew up in Florida. It would take all my fingers and toes and more to count the number of times I have seen articles or even witnessed personally from the beach a pilot of a small craft either die naturally at the controls or have some medical event that causes a crash and death.<p>Why are small planes necessary? Am I wrong to believe what it seems like, that the overwhelmingly popular purpose is <i>entertainment</i>? Is anyone else sick of being lead poisoned?<p>I am all for scrutinizing and restricting the driver&#x27;s licenses of the elderly or those with severe medical issues that will inevitably lead to an accident. This goes doubly so for pilots. I know there&#x27;s a lot young pilots. I take no issue with you. But it seems like most pilots and owners of small planes are over retirement age. It is the entitlement that gets under my skin, the entitlement to poison everyone on the ground with lead as well as put innocent bystanders in danger. Why do we allow this? There are severe problems with conservative ideals, and mainly it has to do with entitlement, a telltale symptom of mental illness, namely, narcissism. Fuck narcissists.
