The good safety record is because of the elimination of the most glaring aviation risks, experts say. One of the biggest advances: an on-board computer system that warns pilots when they're approaching mountains, the ground or other terrain -- once a leading cause of aviation fatalities.
"Other terrain?" What "other terrain" could there be? "Terrain" means "ground"...and the root, "terra" means "the Earth." Does the writer mean Atlantis? The crazy island of Lost? Middle Earth?
The article references an airline "safety community." When it comes to flying*, I want to be a part of the "safety community." Where do I pay dues? Is there a meeting I need to go to?
*By safety in flying, I mean the stuff that happens on board the plane, not the silliness that is TSA.
