You know, as rediculous as that sounds, considering the what I've seen them say and write concerning aviation subjects.....I believe it.

I once had empty fuel tanks on my lawnmower...















and it stopped cutting the grass. Darned thing!

My very first car I bought in 1986, and when it ran out of fuel it maintained altitude perfectly 100% of the time. Obviously Big Aviation has a black policy of forcing unreliable outdated technology in order to drive up insurance costs for the benefit of the Elite.

Funny you mention that, I had a car that would maintain altitude just fine even when it ran out of fuel, but it would lose velocity. I could never find a mechanic competent enough to fix it either.


Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as "bad luck.”

it is a joke - I like CNN coverage since they have plenty on people from the Industry and outside, take Richard Quest on Emirates a year ago, spot on:



and he is not the only one, as they need to be since they want to be taken seriously as news providers.

CNN is surprisingly better at covering civil aviation than many others and their coverage of NASA, ISS and Roscosmos is not bad either.

Weird though that aircraft are the other way around? They lose altitude but not velocity. And yet when one reaches zero the other is instantly zero. Collusion.

Actually it is real. It's from when the Malaysian Airliner disappeared. They were interviewing in a simulator.
