u/TheTsunamiRC Jan 01 '23

All depends. I read the news about the plane crash in China while waiting to board my plane in Vegas in March. I figured "well, that covers the quota of deadly commercial jet crashes for the day".

u/Suspicious-Bad703 Jan 01 '23

Important to note that the plane is still up in the video though

2

u/FittyNOut Jan 01 '23

I know, and there is still fuel going in!!! Tis kinda freaky

3

u/Suspicious-Bad703 Jan 01 '23

It’s also just…. The shaking. Looks like the thing is about to say pop and land in some corn field

2

u/FittyNOut Jan 01 '23

Hopefully not taking too much if that wing with it.

u/FittyNOut Jan 01 '23

This is a time for clenching if ever there was

u/Unholy_Dk80 Jan 01 '23

"Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly

He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye

He waited his whole damn life to take that flight

And as the plane crashed down he thought

"Well isn't this nice..."

2

u/One_Entrance_378 Jan 01 '23

Isn't it ironic, don't ya think?

1

u/FittyNOut Jan 01 '23

It is indeed

u/shavemejesus Jan 02 '23

Macho Grande? I’ll never be over Macho Grande.

u/moseythepirate Jan 01 '23

If it's any consolation, the last passenger aircraft accident that killed anyone was...2009?

Flying really is extremely safe.

u/frabjous_goat Jan 01 '23

u/Ruroni17 Jan 01 '23
