"According to information The Aviation Herald received on March 4th 2017 the CL-604 passed 1000 feet below an Airbus A380-800 while enroute over the Arabian Sea, when a short time later (1-2 minutes)"
They saw the plane, and 1-2 minutes later... bang. We already went over this.

We did, that's why it made zero sense that you said this was predicated on not being aware of the positions of other planes. They were aware of this a full 1-2 minutes earlier at least. They could've turned on the sign. The solution was totally implementable.
I think we've reached that point at which I'd be happy to buckle my seatbelt and let you walk around the cabin to your heart's content. I am not your parent.
When I sit in the same cabin, and I'm buckled up, the previous poster (or his body parts) will be bouncing all over the seats of the same cabin, which is a danger to me. So I still prefer that he also buckles up.
As do I, but he's a poster on HN and not on a flight with me, and I have considerations for the value of my time and the integrity of my sanity when dealing with people who think that "intentionally obtuse" is a position in argument.
Uh, no? "an Airbus A380-800 was observed by the crew passing 1000 feet above" http://avherald.com/h?article=4a5e80f3
> You're basically saying that we should plan for accidents
Yes, whenever possible. It should make sense, really.
> because
...because it's sometimes possible and predictable, in which case it logically makes sense to plan for it.
> wearing a seatbelt is somehow... what? Cumbersome?
Not because of that. But yes, it is cumbersome. Makes it harder to relax, sleep, get up, etc... is this really that shocking to you?
