Ok, look, this should be discussed "a bit", not so much please.

We the people involved with technology, mainly electronics and data
processing are responsible to provide the best the technology can do for
the human pleasure, comfort and safety.

We have the responsibility, want you to think that your involvement is
just as a hobby or not. Ideas and solutions come from everyone, it is
not only the job of "them", there is NOT this group called "THEY", who
have all the answers and all provide all the solutions for our lives, we
are "them", we need to run after our species survival.

With today's technology, mainly communication technology, I JUST CAN NOT
BELIEVE that in 5 hours flying in automatic pilot, it is not possible to
download information from a Learjet board computer and understand why
everybody aboard is dead or unconscious, and otherwise try to land it
even in a bad landing, better than wait it to crash.

Apparently what two F-15's and two F-16's can do at this time is just
approach the deadly silent airplane and do a "visual check"? and just
hope for a not so bad landing when fuel is no more?

I am just talking about a Learjet that took off from Orlando today 9am
destination Dallas, 2 pilots, 3 passengers, somehow, something happened
onboard, complete radio silence 20 minutes after take off. Automatic
pilot took the airplane flying in a straight line until fuel gone, it
crashed up in South Dakota, after 5 hours (!!!) of flying in automatic.
AFIK, 4 strike jets were after the LJ to try to contact it, made visual
check, no response.

Story repeats itself, if the pilot gets a heart attack, everybody dies.
Possible cabin decompressing was the reason, speculations, but the LJ
has O2 masks and lots of alarms that allows a pilot to react before he
goes unconscious.

Ok, during the time you were reading this email, approximately 50
persons died in highways traffic car accidents, it is much, much more
than airplane accidents.

I don't want to start a discussion here, not even a fight about [OT]s
but just transmit the idea, that when you develop something, please
think about safety and how it can impact human lifes, even being a small
PIC unit using a powerful explosive NiCad or Lithium battery.

I am pretty sad about those people and families, and thousands of others
that died today because somebody just didn't thought enough to try to
increase a little bit the possibility to increase safety and avoid a
deadly accident.
