401 speeds. I lived in Ottawa and regularly went to Cornwall along 401 and 31. That was probably before 417 opened.

In winter there would often be snow. I remember driving back to Ottawa at 70 mph on snow. Occasionally there would be a car on the side of the road = maybe 3 = stuck in snow.

It would take a kilometre to stop because it was slippery as snow is, but with no corners and nothing to hit and no traffic 70 mph was fine.

Those were the good old days.

100kph is ridiculous. Should be 130kph.

From what my pilot brother told me it's not bad design. Pilots do have to know how to aviate.

Aircraft are intrinsically unstable which is why thousands have hit the ground. Pilots have to be capable.

My official position is that the FAA is right and Boeing is right. Boeing will want to be right because judges and juries award enormous damages claims.

The 737 Max 8 is a fine aircraft. Airlines will be liable if their dopey pilots crash them.

The mass hysteria is racism against Boeing. Climate change and global warming with the greenhouse effect is also to blame. (Got racism in there and even CO2 which I note is what comes out of 737 max 8 engines so it could be the problem)
