I created this thread for me and the many other aviation enthusiasts in the forum. If you have news about anything in the industry, post it here. The point of this thread was to keep everyone (read: Me) posted on what is going on. Remember, ANY type of news that has the slightest thing to do with the industry is welcomed, and feel free to provide plenty of links.
A really nice website for all who like to read about aviation incidents, accidents and emergencies and learn something new: http://avherald.com/
The guy behind this site is really giving his best to provide as much information as possible, yet sorting out the āmediaā stuff.
I would love to do that but frankly speaking I am more of a āsilent readerā of ACEO-Forum due to limited time. Another thing would be that this thread would be more of a āInteresting Aviation Incident and Accident Threadā 
But this article (as an example) is a quite interesting one how a āmid-air-collisionā can occur and showing the results of it: Accident: Ceiba Intercontinental B738 over Senegal on Sep 5th 2015, midair collision with ambulance jet
Very interesting videos from inside a ācrashingā aircraft: Accident: Peruvian B733 at Jauja on Mar 28th 2017, hard landing, runway excursion, all gear collapsed, aircraft caught fire

I do not know what to say about that incident other than, I am only using Qantas when flying from Sydney to America now. Overbooking flights, however is something many airlines do.
Overbooking is efficient and necessary, itās just a shame it goes wrong sometimes and then half the world takes it as a personal insultā¦
Yes, overbooking is necessary to ensuring all flights are full. However, one mistake and it is all down. Some people do not even know that on their flight, it might be overbooked, however with one mistake, everyone suddenly knows about it, as if they know why it is done.
Flying is neither a privilige nor a right. Itās a paid service, mutually agreed on by the airline and customerā¦
If the airline canāt uphold their part of the agreement they need to compensate customers and if customers agreed to risking being denied a seat in case of overbooking ( via terms ) they also need to respect that.

I must agree though that forcibly removing him the way they did is unacceptableā¦ Sad that they rely on a computer to make a choice that could be resolved by staff.
Computer is fairer (If you ignore that it canāt generate random numbers, but humans canāt do that either)
It was no wrong to tell the passenger to get down from the Aircraft. But the way they āimplementedā it was a bit (actually a lot) shocking.
He can (should) file a case against the airline for assault.
An ouch moment for Unitedā¦
