Aw yea, I was trying to remember the name of this writer recently. I went on a deep-dive into her posts a couple years ago but took a break and then forgot. Anything in particular draw you to this...

Anything in particular draw you to this post in particular? (haven't read it now, but the details seem familiar. I probably read it during my previous binge)
I like how it shows how fairly innocuous lapses in integrity add up over time. The Swiss cheese model of safety makes flying very safe but it also allows people to get used to doing strange things...

However, most airplane crashes are like that, right?
in particular, ... in particular?
The reason this was chosen is because I use a weird program to choose articles to read and it prioritizes unusual words. Riven (in this article's title) and de Havilland (or maybe BOAC) are pretty rare words so that might be why I read them today.
(Interestingly, both articles are related to metal fatigue in some way... though that's not too uncommon...)
yes... it is already a big problem. Even big sites like Wired and Vice magazine have a lot of 404s. I guess they don't bother to redirect old URLs but usually I can find the article after googling...
I wonder if link rot will affect your database more over time?

Luckily, I haven't seen a site yet which isn't available in the Wayback Machine but I've started my own little Wayback Machine (just in case) by passing all my links to wget2 the past few days. There are a lot of 'Failed to connect', 'Name or service not known', and 'No address associated with hostname' errors! It's sad.

Ahaha, I missed my own double 'in particular' usage :)
Very cool strategy. I wonder if link rot will affect your database more over time?

Long, but interesting read, thanks.
Doesn't help my general flying anxiety, but fascinating to read about the broadness of the problem awhile ago.
