There ARE occurrences that the use of AM/FM radios and cellphones interfering on the navigational system of some airplanes. I once read about one here in Brazil that the Flight Management Computer fuel predictions went crazy.
Now imagine something like that happening in a low density airport area. Looks like older jets, specially the first from the digital era are more suscetible to interference.
But the FAA can't stand risking.
Man, this journalist is a complete idiot!! Seatbelts is not just about saving lives, but specially protecting from turbulence injuries!! There are a lot of reports on passengers and cabin crew injured due to a sudden turbulence.
You can't compare a plane flying @900km/h to a 45km/h slow accel tram. Come on!
Seats in upright position is like that not just because of evacuation space, but if an evacuation is needed after a non-sucessful landing, everybody is at least "partially" wake and won't have to deviate from non-reclined seats.
I doubt this journalist can exit from a window seat in a crampled 737 with the forwards seats reclined.
This text is pure SH1T. That's what happens when a journalist writes about something very technical without asking the right persons and without compromise with the truth. All he wants is to make noise.
EVERY rule and technical development in aviation exists to avoid potential or existing danger situations and conditions.
"The effect is lessened if a person is walking slowly, but shoes designed with car tyre treads on the soles would solve the problem by draining water away before it can be flung upwards, they say."
