"Flights are being canceled because they don't have enough pilots in general," said Alaska Captain Joseph Youngerman, a union leader...''
actually, LUCKILY, the man on the beach in the photo above was NOT killed: airplanes sometimes make crash landings by freeways, beaches, and golf courses, and if their engine is out, they are NOT making any noise. So people on the ground may not be aware of the incoming danger. ALL airplanes should be REQUIRED to have a siren/horn that they can activate with one push of a button to alert people on the ground of an incoming crash landing so they can run, dive, take cover, etc

(why planes need horns!) LUCKILY NOBODY KILLED ON THE GROUND "Santa Ana plane crash: Five dead as plane hits car park - BBC News
this time nobody got killed on the ground but WHY SHOULDN'T PLANES HAVE A "NOISE MAKER" that they can push (or is automatically triggered upon sudden descent such as when a pilot has a heart attack or is unconscious for some reason, or terrorism ! ) when they KNOW they are going down ? People would LOOK UP and run for cover...
JESUS SAVES !!

Y I KEEP SAYING AIRPLANES NEED HORNS, OR SIRENS "405 Freeway plane crash victims in stable condition "| abc7.com
If this plane had a unique siren it might have given motorists a clue to make room for a plane to land on freeeway rather than crash

9/19/16 "Skydivers jump just before plane crashes into house"
UN-BEE-LIEV-ABLE! somehow the couple in the house ("which was completely destroyed" were not injured...; just think if they had HEARD A DISTINCTIVE AIRPLANE ALARM...they could have gotten somewhere safe to make sure they were safe and sound before the plane crashed. AIRPLANES MUST HAVE DISTINCTIVE "CRASH ALARMS"!
"A couple inside the home — which was completely destroyed — was not injured and have declined requests for an interview...."

5/9/16 PLANE CRASH LANDS ON TOP OF BUILDING IN POMONA. SHOULD HAVE A UNIQUE SIREN TO WARN PEOPLE
...all planes should be required to have a unique, recognizable, siren...which people will immediately recognize as warning of an incoming plane crash...
...So that when people hear it they know exactly what it means.. Even a few seconds to dive under a bed , or run, or duck, might mean the difference between life and death

" Does a Plane have a Horn?" (yes & no) - KLM Blog
not the kind that can warn public people of danger:
"So, the signalling system aboard an aircraft isn't really used in the same way as the hooters and horns aboard other vehicles and vessels. A pilot can't hoot at other aircraft. In fact, the horn doesn't work when the aircraft is in flight, because the signalling system is turned off.
Whereas horns in cars are mainly used as a warning system, the horn ..."

WELCOME!
EVERY NOW & THEN you hear a story about a small plane crash that kills people on the ground in the process of making an emergency landing. And in some of these tragic events , the airplane has no engine power and therefore is making virtually NO NOISE...; it is coasting downward hoping to land on a freeway or beach or golf course etc. And because it is almost silent, sometimes people on the ground have NO IDEA that something is happening above them, only seconds away.
And the pilot only has LIMITED choices about where to land and where the plane will roll, skid, or tumble to a stop after it hits the ground. And in some of these cases, the pilot and passengers may actually survive the crash while somebody on the ground is tragically killed. It's very tragic and there is one simple addition to all airplanes that could help prevent this from happening in some cases.
By adding a sturdy horn or siren or noisemaker, maybe similar to a car horn, but probably bigger, more like a truck horn, people could be made aware a few seconds ahead of time of impending doom. With just a few seconds warning, these people could look up, run, dive out of the way, take cover, etc, and perhaps avoid being injured or killed.
This would NOT be an expensive addition to airplanes. Preferably it would be a button that the pilot could push in case of emergency that would automatically keep repeating the horn or siren or whatever kind of noise-maker works best to alert people on the ground. It should be automatic because the pilot cannot concentrate on manually pushing a horn while also attempting to steer and navigate as best as possible to a crash landing of some sort. This is a very simple & inexpensive addition to aircraft of all kinds that might save some lives on the ground.
This blog will be posting cases of plane crashes or emergencylandings in which lives might have been saved if there had been a horn or noise-maker of some sort activated before reaching the ground. Talk to your legislators about this as a future requirement for all planes.. Here's an example of a possible preventable death if the airplane made some noise.
