That's not the most credible explanation. http://users.ece.cmu.edu/~koopman/pubs/koopman14_toyota_ua_s...
I don't buy it. Heck, I've even stepped on the gas instead of the brake. Besides, the brakes are much more effective than that little Toyota engine is. Try it yourself. Go full throttle and step hard on the brake. You'll stop.
This reminded me of the Yak-42 jackscrew failure due to a design defect, which caused a crash killing 132 onboard in 1982 [1]. The entire fleet was grounded for more than two years until the full investigation was completed and the defect was fixed. Three design engineers were convicted.

Maybe the FAA should study how Soviet authorities responded to a crash of a new type of aircraft? > Operation of the entire fleet of Yak-42 aircraft until the elucidation of the causes of the disaster and the elimination of the identified deficiencies was suspended until 1984.

The source is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/CatastrophicFailure/comments/adl0jk... I wrote this. I noticed it jumped 12,000 views and I got no username mention on Reddit, so I asked around and found it came from here. Made an account just to post the source. I'm pretty pissed that someone linked it completely without credit. As for what it is, it's part of a series I write for reddit where I read as many sources as…
I'm not sure you have the right to be upset about lack of attributions when your articles lack attributions for the sources of information and all of the images.

The Covington Kids story shows how social media amplified both sides of an issue. It’s the opposite of group think with multiple narratives showing up. What you’re describing “group consensus” is a systemic bias. A historical example of say US WWII propaganda qualifies as essentially all US news is shifted in the same direction. Waves of news with story X being updated to story Y over time is a different thing. That’…
The Covington Kids story shows how social media amplified both sides of an issue. The behavior of mainstream journalists calling for the doxxing of and violence against these kids just strikes me as amazing. The groupthink involved with accepting the initial narrative is quite apparent. What you’re describing “group consensus” is a systemic bias. When systematic bias reaches the point where journalists completely aba…
You need to factor in how stories are simply copied around the ecco chamber of mainstream news. But also how stories evolve not just what gets retracted.
You are focusing on an individual story, but also a specific point in time. A different narrative showed up and was passed around mainstream media changing your view of what happened. That’s more than a simple retraction.
What I find fascinating is it was even considered a story in the first place. But, it really resonated with you, so I guess they know what they are doing.

Look at slide 8.
Besides, just to stand on one foot requires 100 lbs of force exerted on your foot. If you can walk, you can do that. Pressing with 175 lbs is not a problem.
The point is, the brakes can override the engine torque. Unless, of course, you're standing on the gas instead of the brake.
You can also just turn the key off on a runaway engine.

I'm not sure what you mean, the second paragraph of the article is: "Images sourced from The Seattle Times, the NTSB, Boeing, Tails Through Time, the Colorado Springs Gazette, The Times of India, Wikipedia, TribLIVE, The Flight 427 Air Disaster Support League, and Forbes. Video clips courtesy of Cineflix and the Weather Channel. Special thanks to the Seattle Times for its series of articles on the subject in 1996, wh…

Convicted of what? Smells like scapegoating. "The investigation concluded that among the causes of the crash were poor maintenance, as well as the control system of the stabilizer not meeting basic aviation standards”
