Probably the most tragic thing in the American Airlines accident above Reagan is that all of those problems that we talked about, understaffing at the air traffic control center, last-minute deviations in sort of a flight path at the last minute in one of the most congested airports in the entire country, the fact that there's a military base just a couple miles where helicopters are taking off and landing, all of these things are big systemic problems.

There's really only one way to ensure that there are no plane crashes anywhere in the world, and that's just to ground every single airplane. As long as you have people flying airplanes, there will be problems that can put people's lives in danger. You should worry about airplanes when they start to crash for the same reason.

You think about the two, for example, Boeing 737 MAXs that crashed in 2018 and 2019. They crashed for the same reason that Boeing had put in this faulty piece of software that could essentially overpower pilots and rip controls away from them and cause a crash. And then they tried to cover it up right afterwards, and that's the sort of thing that you really need to worry about.
