Look at everything as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time.

@DrDatta_AIIMS Launching a startup airline is famously one of the most complex, capital-intensive, and heavily regulated business ventures on earth. Success notably requires mastering capital matching and rigorous operational planning, as alluded to by @AviaPro_ below.

AMERICAN AIRLINES FLIGHT 191 — THE DAY THE DC-10 CHANGED AVIATION FOREVER

49 years ago today, May 25, 1979, American Airlines Flight 191 crashed moments after takeoff from Chicago O’Hare, killing all 271 people on board and 2 on the ground.

It remains the deadliest single-aircraft crash in U.S. history.

The McDonnell Douglas DC-10 had just rotated off Runway 32R when the unthinkable happened: the entire No.1 left engine and pylon tore away from the wing, flipped over the aircraft, and slammed onto the runway.

The separation severed critical hydraulic and electrical systems, causing the left wing’s leading-edge slats to retract unexpectedly. With the right wing still producing full lift and thrust, the aircraft became catastrophically unbalanced.

The left wing stalled first.

Within seconds, the DC-10 rolled violently to a 112° bank angle, nearly inverted, before crashing into a field near a trailer park at the end of the runway.

Investigators later discovered the root cause was improper maintenance procedures. To save time, the engine and pylon had been removed together using a forklift instead of following McDonnell Douglas’ approved method. The process damaged the pylon structure, creating cracks that went unnoticed until catastrophic failure occurred during takeoff.

Even more tragic: simulator tests later proved the crew did almost everything correctly. Critical stall warning systems had been disabled by the electrical failure, leaving the pilots with no indication the left wing was stalling.

Flight 191 reshaped aviation safety forever, leading to stricter maintenance oversight, redesigned inspection procedures, and independent stall warning systems for both pilots.

A tragedy that changed aviation history forever.

@SingaporeAir "Seamless air travel" is only just a regional reality. Until the technology and policy frameworks used by top nations are exported or harmonized globally, the world will remain a "two-speed" aviation market, as alluded to by @AviaPro_ in the below.

Two halves, one aviation world.
Based on Milanamos’ AvBench data, global passenger traffic can be split almost perfectly in two — 1.9B passengers in the red and 1.9B in the grey.

This simple visual reminds us how air travel demand is both massive and evenly distributed globally.

One of the best pieces of aerial filming I have ever watched is this Boeing 787 Dreamliner by Air France.
Just EPIC!
