This piece continues to bring a tear to my eye.

My problem is I always forget to listen to the in-flight announcements so I never figure out how to put my seatbelt on.

Just like Kyle to slack off when a world record is on the line. Thanks, Kyle!

I can't tell if the Onion gets their ideas from the stuff DeSantis does or if DeSantis gets his ideas from reading the Onion.

I just woke up and read the headline as "highly photogenic bird flu"

From the looks of the picture, Joost has no idea why he's disqualified.

Shit...my wife just thought of a bigger diamond I could buy her.

We tested Comac parts for FAA certification. When you've tested parts for decades you can pretty much nail down the cause of the failure be it design, process, materials, a combination and so forth.

Also the c919 is only certified in China. It can't fly in the US or Europe.

There is more that goes into an airplane than the people maintaining or assembling it, which can and does go afoul. There is the entire manufacturing process, how materials are sourced, processed, refined, machined/formed, heat treated, stress relieved, coated/plated, assembled, and the list goes on. That is a major factor why aircraft are so safe and if you think China's material and process controls are as rigorous as someone like Boeing or Airbus, it isn't. It has taken decades of actual aircraft manufacturing to get the formula right for those respective companies and they continue to evolve as time goes on and new information is learned.

Do we really need to politicize this? It was a scientific study performed in the UK.

1,700 years later and camels are still assholes.
