According to the news reel re this accident, 85 lives have been saved by the use of this parachute system.
Kinda makes you wonder about the conversation around the board room table at the plane manufacturers company.
"Okay guys so we've got this plane that keeps stopping in the sky for various reasons. Now yeah we could spend millions sorting it out, but Jenkins from accounts has made a suggestion that... okay may be a little radical but it's cheap" Jenkins "cough, cough, Well you remember earlier in the summer I came around to yall to ask if you would sponsor my daughter Ethel as she was going to do a half marathon, then she changed her plans (Teenagers huh!) and ended up doing a parachute jump instead! well Okay it didn't quite go to plan, landing in that bonfire and all. But it kinda got me thinking that if we stuck a parachute on the top of our plane we could cut right back on maintenance, loose 17% of our workforce and we could use the money working on that time machine that I mentioned at the last AGM"
long pause................"Okay passed"
