Why do airplanes crash?
Because they stop being not crashed.

I thought of a fuming triggered For Sweden when I saw this video come up on my playlist. haven’t seen it yet.

I don’t understand things, so they must be random, but I like to talk about them anyways

Why does this trigger you?
I mean, saying that aviation is “trial and error” seems like a huge exaggeration... but it’s only that... I think...
I’m not going to pretend I’m an expert... I just want to learn!

Only a small, small minority of crashes occur due to “unpredictable circumstances.” Most occur because of known reasons such as fatigue, flying into a storm “just this once,” lazy maintenance, etc.
Using “trial and error” as the standard for safety advancement is horribly reactionary. You can proactively find problems and corresponding solutions if you try.

It’s probably made with a light at most 2 hour research on Wikipedia.... but a lot of focus on the editing. I can’t see anything wrong with it other than the trial and error, but I know little about airplanes... Weather and pitot tubes however aren’t friends... at all. Or bees...

Nowadays..., back in the early days aviation was truly trial and error. I concur with modern aviation not being trial and error though mostly.

Well, yeah... if the engineers of the Dehavilland Comet had given the windows a round design from the beginning everything would’ve been solved, it’s not like we discovered the physical characteristic of metal fatigue and stress unitl 1950...The engineers could’ve (and should’ve) made a better job
I think Boeing also caused a few accidents because of faulty locks in the storage doors just to save a bit of money. American airlines also caused an accident by servicing an engine the wrong way.
I guess these are foreseen circumstances, it’s just that we as humans tend to act like idiots sometimes... which is ultimately what most regulators in the aviation industry have tried to correct. He is making a false statement and I wonder how that’s going to ring with people that maybe don’t understand airplanes too well... panic?

We need to have a For Sweden Trigger theme day.

That would be the 5th of June

That’s awfully similar to the reasons behind car crashes.

His statement would be accurate if he used more explanation. Aviation safety in the early days was very much trial and error. However with time came knowledge and nowadays crashes are usually pilot error, completely preventable, and almost always predictable.
