Which is why you're better off running into a condo building than violating Class Bravo airspace.

Can we do that with car crashes too?

"According to industry sources, most commercial airlines are planning to fit in as many crashes as possible between now and Jan. 1, when the ban officially goes into effect."

What about general aviation flights? How many of you plan to crash between now and January 1, so as to avoid the ban?

This is atrocious. How is aviation supposed to scare people off if we cease crashes immediately? Furthermore, how are we supposed to be able to afford to crash if we're fined on top of our already high funeral expenses? This shall not pass...

Just more overbearing governmenting. Let's stand up for our rights to crash as desired!

I'm sure if you do crash after the ban goes into effect the insurance company will leverage the policy to avoid payouts.

GA aircraft values will then plummett.

Then we can snap them up cheap - win-win!

Unfortunately, the Hollywood lobby would effectively kill a ban on train-wrecks...it would completely put the E! network out of business.
