5 minutes ago, a Norwegian boeing abruptly swung around back home after the cockpit window cracked.

Last week a passenger was sucked out of the window of a boeing down to his waist and the upper half of his body was flailing outside in terror for minutes, intermittently conscious/unconscious at 16k feet and almost 400mph.

And I have to book a flight this autumn. I pray its not on a boeing :(

I see the guy who sucked out last week was because of broken debris from an engine, which is what also killed the last passenger to have got sucked out a smashed window on a boeing

When you book a flight you can most of the times see what airplane you will be flying with, whether it is Airbus or Boeing.

The last couple of times I have flown I made sure I flew with Airbus.

If you fly within the EU I think Airbus is common.
