A disproportionate amount of the best hardware and firmware engineers I know have pilots licenses and are very interested in the mechanics and technical details of flight. Seems perfect for HN.

Seriously doubt any firmware was involved as these aircraft would be manually operated, but I could be wrong. Mechanical malfunction or pilot error would more likely be the cause. Sorry for the loss of life in any case.

How is any of that related to a video showing 6 people dying? This is, literally, like saying you’re into cars, so you watch fatal car crash videos. Sounds like complete nonsense. It’s been flagged to death, so the sentiment wasn’t shared.
