Comment on Ubisoft Co-Founder Claude Guillemot Dies In Plane Crash
Zink@programming.dev 2 weeks agoI have the perfect story for this.
About a decade ago I attended a week-long reliability training held by ASQ (the American Society for Quality). One day heading back to my hotel room I shared an elevator with the then-president-chairman of ASQ.
He was chatting about airliner safety, and how the engineers would do things like test/measure/calculate to find the necessary thickness of a part, and then just triple it for safety because they could. He said he’d never hesitate to ride a commercial airliner.
He then said he would never ride in a helicopter as long as he lived, lol.

Honestly the only helicopters I’d trust are VTOLs that lean more toward the plain side of things, mostly because then they can glide and don’t just rush towards the ground.
