imagine how many planes would crash if airplane mode was actually necessary
Discussion
Yes, why do we enable it if it’s not necessary?
Don't conjure the next psyop sir. 😂🤣
😅😂🤣
You stealing Adam Carolla’s bits?
Never understood this.. 🙄
All of them.
If an airplane doesn't land, did it really ever take off?
There will always be some who don’t on every single flight
Airplane mode is meant to protect the cell phone antennas on the ground. 200 phones logging themselves into the nearest antenna at 500kph acts as a solid DDoS. Definitely not needed at high altitudes, but maybe it was 15 years ago
Lol. Antennas near subway and train stations must be totally screwed then
The antennas are in the stations and in the tunnels, and they’re built for that load. I agree that it’s not a big problem for telcos anymore
lol
Darn, you saying after all these years, that isnt what caused the 9/11 disaster? 😆. My life is a lie.
I was told by a fight attendant, that a person phone battery will die faster while looking for cell tower, than it would cause any problems to a plane.
A lot
I think this every time I board a plane. It's so ridiculous
About 0.
Probably 1 and then everyone would take it seriously or the airlines would make you hand over your phone for the duration of the flight.
Haven’t used airplane mode once in the last 100 or so flights. Still here writing this lol
🤣
I’m sending this on a plane without Wi-Fi.
Pray that we land.
Airport security is the dumbest thing ever man. Talc powder aint gonna blow up an airplane dude. Nutella isn't hidden nitroglycerine.
We still have to take off our shoes every time because of one fucking British guy 22 years ago.
it would be a catastrophe on the scale of the mRNA shot
All of them.
Mobile from inside sometimes does interfere with air traffic control VHF communication, mostly audible as a static background noise like an old modem. Never seen any source inside the plane interfere with navigation, which is GPS or inertial based. 5G towers near US airports are still an issue for the plane radioaltimeters though. Lower limit approaches depend on RA. You don't want to pitch/roll below 500'... in zero vis.
