That's quite a common cause of aviation accidents, is it not?

It's easily the most comfortable commercial aircraft in service, f. I've done about 10 trips on the 787 now and if travelling long haul I'll choose one operator over another if they're using it. It's so quiet and the environment is so much nicer because of the pressurisation being set so much lower. After dinner just set your seat to flat, get your blankie and pillow from a hostie, and I guarantee you'll sleep like a baby all the way there.

I watched a video on YouTube of a business class flight on one of the Middle East airlines. They had separate rooms for each ticket and for the ones in the middle of the plane they installed fake windows that were screens being fed images from cameras outside of the plane. So they were getting a view of what they’d have seen were they actually in a window seat. ****ing mental.
