Stupid comment. Several flights had to be diverted because of the break-up, and anyone in flight at that time would be rightly concerned about barely-visible high-speed shrapnel showering a much larger area than where the visible debris are - especially when you are responsible for keeping your hundreds of passengers safe in a very unexpected situation with no rehearsed procedure to follow. | ||||||||

Nobody is saying it wasn’t prudent to divert. It would have been impossible for the pilot to know if that debris was shortly in front of them and at co-altitude or extremely far in front of them and at a significantly higher altitude. In this case it was almost certainly the latter. But the uncertainty alone was enough to warrant diverting. > Stupid comment. Aim higher on HN. | ||||||||

Ok, this: > Stupid comment got me. There's literally an HN rule about this: [0] > When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3." I feel like the world would be a better place if people would tone down the ad-hominem in their day-to-day discourse just a little bit. | ||||||||
