The presence of deactivated exits on an aicraft is fully disclosed.

That's not comparable. Eggs are worth half a dollar each, millions are sold every day, and the difference between a good and a bad egg to the customer will be about taste and that's it. Cost reduction is about the environment in which the chicken are raised, which is awful to the chickens, but...

Neither airlines nor search engines manufacture aircraft. If there are manufacturing defects, that's the fault of the... manufacturer. Maintenance and reliability is of a major importance for LC airlines: they fly their aircrafts on a tight schedule, and any delay caused by poor maintenance...

Less that 0.1 second, that opening is huge.

Because flight recorders record continuously, until electrically plugged off. The priority was the safety of those on board, maintenance accessed the aircraft about 2 hours after the incident occured. EU/EASA require a 25 hours recording capacity (decided in 2015 for aircraft built from 2021...

Sure, as the passengers contracted with Flixbus, not with Skyway.

Yes, when you search for tickets on their website and look at the "details" of a result, it will tell you which company will operate... or sometimes give you a list of companies because it contracts with multiple companies on that route! (is that even legal not to tell which one exactly?)

This article misses a very important point that differs from Greyhound: while Greyhound is (future was) a bus operator, Flixbus is only a bus "coordinator" (same in Europe): it contracts with multiple local bus companies to operate the routes they sell. Here, the tickets were sold by Flixbus...

Yes, this is both impressive to see and very rare, so it makes the news. Meanwhile, each year in the US, 1 every 7,500 inhabitant will die in a motor vehicle (usually car) related crash. A figure which is much more impressive to read (at least to me)... but has gotten so common that it's been...

Don't forget this was in Japan, where discipline is a common thing among the population. In some other countries, you'd have people reaching for their hand luggage before they evacuate... (Not so) fun fact: in 1903, 84 people died after a subway car caught fire in Paris. When the station staff...

Yes, but the crew could barely see it in the middle of all the bright runway/taxiways lights. The smaller aircraft had been on the runway for almost a minute before the collision (it was instructed to hold short of the runway, but instead lined up on the runway).

What? In Europe (precisely in EEA, so EU + Iceland/Norway/Lichstenstein), this can occur only if you're more roaming than being in your home country over a period of... 4 months (and you then get a warning telling you that you have 2 weeks to come back to compliance, i.e. being home or stop...

If you just earned points, it may take some time before the status is updated, as it's probably something that's processed on a weekly basis. But yet they shouldn't show something odd like that to the customers in the meantime ^^

"Nuremburg", seriously? ^^

No, they only have a R&D center there :)

It *is* OpenStreetMap data, just not the default map renderings used on openstreetmap.org :)

555 Mission Street :)

Not really, they can't replace the whole signal system "piece by piece" or "track by track".

That would be the sensible thing to do... if the signal works allow it: Metrolink could have done the same thing (albeit with a reduced service probably), yet they decided to go for zero service (even on Arrow), was that just because it was the easiest thing to do, or because they had no other...

Yes, they have models that take in account of all this. But these models all only have a short-sighted and short-term vision, they don't take in account how these service cuts may make people switch to other modes of transportation even when the service isn't changed, etc., which would result...
