Re: How often do planes crash mid air and EVERYONE LIVES!!!
I'm amazed that the airline industry in general have not looked at ways into slowing down out of control airplanes on the verge of crashing.

One could simply look at parachute devices built onto the plane, and say the plane spirals out of control and starts heading towards the ground at a high rate of speed, the chutes deploy and slows down the rate of all considerably. It may or may not work, but I think it'd be better to try it and save lives then to have the plane smash into the ground and everyone dies. Worst case scenario, the plane still crashes and everyone dies, best case scenario.. it actually works, lives are saved.

We've already used this strategy with the Apollo missions, and when the Apollo capsules re-entered the atmosphere parachutes deployed to slow their descent back to Earth and worked like a charm.

There has to be something we can do other than shrug our shoulders and be like "plane is spiraling out of control in a 300MPH vertical nose dive towards earth.. nothing we can do.. lol"

Vince Gilligan does it again.

First he does the Lone Gunman plot which features a plane that was hacked to head to the twin towers that the lone gunman override and pilot pull-up just in time to narrowly avoid the crash.

He also directed a breaking bad episode where two planes crashed in mid air.

What does he know??!

This would be a heavy and complex system. It would have to be attached to a hard point on the aircraft that could withstand many hundred tons of impulse force when the chute(s) opened. The aircraft at 300mph would still be flying, and a large enough chute would pull it from possible controllability into a dead weight. The chute(s) would have to be enormous to provide a sufficiently soft landing to be survivable, and even that doesn't account for the fuel load, low altitude, hot engines and the real likelihood of fire. Most aircraft that are in dire straits have at least some degree of controllability allowing them to limit or prevent loss of life and property on the ground. Having a controllable set of chutes for a large aircraft would be yet another level of complexity, and who would control them?

A ballistic parachute system can work for a small enough aircraft, but even that is complex, and the aircraft will most likely be destroyed when it touches down.
