  • How were the switches designed such that they prevented accidental activation? Because it looks like they just get simply flipped down. Could it be pull-out-and-down? Or maybe there’s a lot of resistance during the switch action?

    The lever-lock fuel switches are designed to prevent accidental activation - they must be pulled up to unlock before flipping, a safety feature dating back to the 1950s. This isn’t a new or weird design. It’s essentially the standard used in basically every plane because it works.

    “It would be almost impossible to pull both switches with a single movement of one hand, and this makes accidental deployment unlikely,” a Canada-based air accidents investigator, who wanted to remain unnamed, told the BBC.




















  • There’s usually people in the bar area if you don’t go at like, 11 am.

    The comment you responded to literally says that the article makes no mention of alcohol, or even food. So barcades aren’t what you need to be looking at. You need to look at whether standard arcades will work located in old malls.

    And the answer to that is clearly no, because they already failed once and things haven’t changed for that. Barcades work not only because of the games, but the bar. A tiny selection of basic piswasser isn’t going to cut it to attract people.
