Compressor stall. Inexperienced FO shuts down the wrong engine. They then mishandle the other one somehow. Crash.

How "later"? Age discrimination seems somewhat problematic in tech.
Edit: Two other "old" replies pop up at the same time.
Edit: Here's a good one - https://fixingnotams.org/ending-notam-nonsense-in-the-digita...
A general inefficiency example using two airpots I often have in mind: IAH and JFK. In IAH, traffic is spaced out in cruise well before the arrival begins, where they're burning much less fuel at high altitude. They're then instructed to descend via the full STAR (standard terminal arrival), including the transition to the approach for the runway in use. This looks like a hundreds mile long line of planes all following the same path to the same runway. The only further instruction necessary from ATC is speed adjustment, and allows for an almost continuous descent to the runway provided there's no weather in the way.
At JFK, the spacing occurs much later and, even though the airport has some similar arrivals (though none quite as thorough), they instruct every altitude change and speed adjustment for every aircraft individually, along with vectoring them to the approach for the runway in use. It results in an incredibly busy radio environment and numerous inputs from pilots flying planes capable of simply following a STAR and transition, like in IAH (or ORD, SFO, LAX, etc). There's also much more time spent at low altitude burning more fuel. It reminds me of everything else in NYC, which seems to be inefficient on purpose (NYPD, MTA, DSNY, etc.).
JFK and IAH have a similar number of aircraft movements. Yes, NYC has busier airspace with numerous airports, however, I don't see how this prevents the design and implementation of more modern procedures. Flying around at 4000 feet in an airliner getting numerous vectors just seems ridiculous compared to what I experience elsewhere.
The approach isn’t “slow” in terms of aircraft speed but rather its duration. Shallower equals more time in reach of adversary weapons.
Glad to see this law but NYPD doesn't care about anything. They'll issue far more tickets for cyclists not having lights than something like this. You can drive through NYC in a way so reckless that it should be considered assault (with no license plate) and nobody will do anything about it. I regularly look up reckless drivers on howsmydrivingny.nyc while walking around, often to find tens of school zone speed violations. NYC is non-functional, regardless of what the law says.
The pickup truck perfectly represents the excesses of this development pattern: It consumes large amounts of fuel and takes up lots of space. With high hoods (and often added bull bar/brush guard) it's dangerous to those outside of it while protecting the single person inside at all costs. It can hold four/five people while also carrying/towing a large amount of purchased goods, and though it isn't often used for such purposes, it represents a "hard work" ethos, especially that of the hourly worker, which fuels the consumerism that enables such a vehicles existence.
