In season two, Walt's actions lead to two planes crashing into each other.

This is the most unrealistic thing... What was the point?

It was just a plot device to show us that Walter is starting to not care. His speech in the school was an example of that.

What do you mean it's unrealistic? A lot of the show is. IIRC I think Donald had like two weeks off. There's no fucking way anyone would let him back after only two weeks. That part was unrealistic.

Someone being so distraught over the loss of a child causing a mid air collision? The real question is why he was allowed back at work so soon without a psych test

I dunno either. They could've chosen a much more realistic "unintended consequence" to go with, but the creator of the show just seems to like weird stuff

It was weird, and probably why season 2 is the weakest for me.

You tell me; as a pilot, tell me exactly how common it is for two commercial airliners to collide in midair.

I never said planes don't crash; two commercial airliners crashing in mid air during clear weather is such unrealistic bullcrap.

It doesn't happen frequently, but it does happen on a nearly annual basis. Not necessarily between 747s or something massive, but even then a lot of them do feature 737s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-air_collision#List_of_notable_civilian_and_military-civilian_mid-air_collisions

Seems like it (commercial airliners, not helicopters or small planes) happens once a decade or so, and only over "strange" areas.

Albuquerque is pretty strange. I've heard that it's a magical, far away place where the sun is always shining and the air smells like warm root beer and the towels are oh so fluffy. Where the shriners and the lepers play their ukuleles all day long and anyone on the street will gladly shave your back for a nickel
