Please tell me you've seen that before, as that is probably one of the most common videos out there.
But I remember it spawning this terrible joke: (and why is it I can only remember crappy jokes?)
What is the difference between an A320 and a chainsaw? About a couple thousand trees per hour.....
Flame away!!

Hard limits designed to protect the pilot from himself may have sounded like a good idea, but there have been at least six accidents involving Airbus aircraft that could not have happened on a Boeing.
Have you ever heard Airbuses called the "John Wayne" of airplanes? Because they move mountains, chop down trees, and kill Indians.
EagleRJ said:Probably a reference to several Airbus accidents on and near the Indian subcontinent.
Are you driving? Watch the road! Geeze- SMS is worse than cellphones....

When I was back home for Turkey day, I watched a show on The Discovery Channel (can't remember which one) about flying cars and "highways in the skies" and all that...Styles said:...What spawned it was a friend and I were in a discussion about flying cars for the general public and I said "it could not be done, technology is not there yet just look at the freeways! You want those people up there with you anyway?"
He said "with current technology it is possible, look at the autoland and current autopilot systems now, a new computer system can be devloped now a-days and will be able to fly, not the general public yada yada yada...."
I said " It's just not there yet and when it dose get there pilots will be out of job when a 16 year old kid can go down the local DMV takes a 5 min test and get a licensee. And remember this video!"
anyway sorry if it ticked someone off. But I'm good at that
