And if they were to make a contest which airline is the safest , ELAL would win by flying colors. I’d rather fly on a noisy airplane and get to my destination than fly on a nice and clean plane and get blown up on the way

Not sure why other commenters are up in arms. It’s a fair statement, El Al is indeed probably the most noisy and annoying airline to travel with.
For security reasons, El Al planes usually do max-performance takeoffs, and they are exempt from noise reductions procedures.
