So correct. The mass media not only go into reporting with a lack of knowledge, they also are driven not by a desire to report accurately, but to Garner as many viewers as they can, so higher advertising rates can be charged. So they sensationalize everything to the point where the sensation overwhelms the story. And they utilize cheap tricks like following an "Oh, how awful" comment by the anchor with a sad-looking "That's right, Karen" remark from a reporter in the field. And they blow stories all.out of proportion when a lot of people are waiting for something they really want to watch...like the weather forecast.

Too bad Flightaware doesn't provide a "LIKE" button for comments like Marc's! On the other hand, it's too bad the "usual" social media platforms don't provide a "DISLIKE" button.

Equally stupid and irresponsible are her family who cooked up the lame excuse for her actions. They ALL belong in the looney bin.

But how long will the new bosses allow this to continue before looking for more yield, to benefit the stockholders? Corporate will want its pound of flesh, sooner than later.

Ask long as Collins remains true to what Flights are has done and built...but only there is really only one true driver of Corporate America: maximizing yield to stockholders. At the usual.corporation, if it is felt that the former leadership and their proven methods get in the way of faster "gains" in the short term, they'll be out the back door.

YES IT IS. This man could have put an aircraft into the ground and killed all aboard, as effectively as did the evil Muslim dreck on 9/11. Have we already forgotten? Are we THAT politically correct?

Please do not jump to "confusions." MD-11 was designed and named well after the DC-10's troubles. MD-10 was named such, as the two-person crew airplane made possible by advanced avionics. Both were initiated and developed by the postmerger McDonnell Douglas; hence the "MD." the DC-10 was initiated by predecessor Douglas Aircraft.
