I've seen this over the past few days on social media. Two things surprise me:
1. The public's sheer disregard for the engineering/design impossibilities in constructing something like this. People genuinely believe it's the future.
2. The response when someone probes 'what about the pilots?'. Without exception, on every reply, a good few people respond 'F*** the pilots'.
Wow. I bet the passengers of US 1549 weren't thinking of 'f***ing the pilots' as they were about to land on the Hudson.
Neither of these surprise me as much as the risk ignorance that would lead people to believe that this is a major safety benefit whilst one of the simplest improvements in surviveability, namely backward facing seats, is considered a step too far!
