Last Saturday, a passenger airliner crashed into the sea in Bali while trying to land at its airport during

a thunderstorm. The plane was trying to land on the runway when heavy rain hitting its windshield caused the pilots to lose sight of it. According to the crew, the pilot at the controls decided to turn around for another try but the plane was unable to claw back into the air and it landed smack in the seawater well short of the runway. The report by the crew indicated that a downdraft or a big gust of wind caused the plane to lose altitude rapidly though some eyewitnesses claims alleged that the plane had actually missed the runway altogether and simply dropped from the air gliding straight into the water. There has been a number of landing mishaps on the island of Bali over the last few years. Perhaps Balis airport needs some major or urgent improvements plus a lengthy or large extension to its runways. Or perhaps it is high time governments around the world demand the global aeroplane companies improve their products. One way is to DECREASE the number of seats available on a typical jet by eliminating the row(s) of seats located behind the cockpit and then install front canards there. Canards generally permit an aircraft to climb without having to depress the rear portion of the aircraft thus avoid losing precious altitude. Also canards allow a lightly loaded aircraft to fly with a slower approach speed while trying to land at a dimly lit or not highly visible runway. Thus transport ministries around the world must ban all airlines from using any passenger aircraft that do not have front canards (starting in ten years time) attached. Aircraft must also carry fewer passengers. This will make it easier for airport authorities to monitor everyone arriving at the airport. Cameras supported by face recognition software should be used to record the people coming in. Similar cameras should also be put at critical places like pigeon markets so that authorities can always determine who arrived when, visited where, and did what.
