⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't passanger airplanes come with parachutes for people?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
That question got me thinking: In which major disaster would there have been time to get people off board and deploy parachutes? Any major disaster I can think of happened so fast or unbeknownst to anyone on board, or in unfavorable conditions for parachutes, i.e. takeoff or landing.

The only one coming to mind is the Gimli glider and that turned out fine.
