Random question that I’m genuinely curious about: Why don’t commercial airplanes have an eject button?
Random question that I’m genuinely curious about: Why don’t commercial airplanes have an eject button? Like a button that can be pressed if the plane is about to crash that shoots off the top and every seat ejects with a little parachute. Is it a cost issue? Engineering impossibility? I have to imagine people would pay more to know they had a better (say 80% higher) chance of survival in the event of a catastrophic failure. Just something that I’ve always wondered about and now I want to know the answer to.
