That's a real shitty video; my first though was this was somebody filming with a jitterbug phone.
Turns out it's from 12 years ago. Im sure this was just an honest mistake on Matt's part and in no way just him finding an example of "culture war" to talk about while airlines are trendy.
Always find these cherry picking videos, right? Posted for discussion not making point.
A Southwest flight tried to take off on taxiway H in Orlando. They made to 70 knots (about halfway to take off speed) before ATC caught it and alerted the crew, rejecting the takeoff.

I don't know if the audio will turn up or not, but scanning this archive, you can see all of the different aviation incidents out there.

The majority of these are probably general aviation. Flying is still safe, just not if you're a low time doctor with more money than skill or the "I've done this for xx years" guy with an expired license.

This one is available head scratcher. There are 2 people in that cockpit and neither one said, "Hmmm...this looks odd".
Runways and taxiway look noticeably different. Even then, major airlines like Delta, etc have a procedure to confirm your runway, which includes looking at the big white numbers painted on the pavement.

Brooklyn Park, MN - Yesterday, March 30th.
Video 1: Ring Camera catches plane going down. Engine did not sound good…Pilot was thought to be a US Bank exec. No known passengers.
Video 2: Lots of fire. Wife was out walking the dog. Husband was in kitchen having sandwich. Said house ‘immediately’ filled with smoke, could not see the front door by the time he got to it.

I don't recall where the other thread on the South Carolina USMC F-35 incident is, so here is this. To no one's surprise, the Marine Corp's version of the story and his differ.
Sacked Marine Pilot Whose F-35B Flew Without Him After Ejecting Gives His Side Of The Story

They fucked him over, simple.
Saying it's Pilot error keeps anti-F35 politicians at bay.

Agreed. Makes me wonder if the general who endorsed the official finding has a job waiting for him with Lockheed since pretty much every other report endorsed his actions.

Re: Helo crash in New York:
We saw in the video that the rotor came apart from the aircraft (do I remember that it is just one nut ‘Jesus nut’ that holds it in place?)
Also heard reports that pilot called in that he was low on fuel. How does that happen?
Initial speculation that pilot attempting to do controlled landing without fuel somehow dislodged the rotor. I think back to Chickenhawk (one the best Nam books out there) the pilots practiced this maneuver often.

Listening to morning radio discuss the video…main guy says, “I’ll never get in a helicopter again. And I’ve flown in the safest helicopter available, a military helicopter .”
It’s been a long time since I’ve done a legit coffee spit-take.

The Jesus nut is real- if that fails, start praying.
