  All planes land eventually

    I mean crashing technically counts as a landing. We can use the rocketry term lithobraking to make it sound better.

      Rapid unscheduled landing, as spacex would describe it

      What is your “technical” definition of “landing”?

    Any landing where you can walk away from the plane is a good landing.

    Any landing where you can reuse the plane is a great landing.

    There are more planes in the sea than there are boats in the air. Thibk about it.

      Another senseless tragedy. Boeing sends thoughts and prayers to the family of littletranspunk

    Trains are better than planes, because in the railroads, blowing a whistle is just a normal safety practice

  Hands or cheeks?

• nifty@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

  Sure but what if they think it’s an approving clap vs horrified-for-my-life-now-relieved clap?

    Add a firm but reassuring “Thank fuck for that! Now I can get off this death trap.”

  I flew on a Delta 737 with duct tape everywhere. Was delayed. Then an Airbus 321 and because of delay they shut off the engines. But then the auxiliary power unit wouldn’t start to restart the engines and had to be towed back to the gate. I’m wondering who maintains thaes planes anymore, sketchy all around…

    You know how every single industry is decaying and getting worse because organizations don’t value the people who do the work and just amass wealth in the upper echelons of the enterprise?

    Well they’re doing it in the aerospace industry, too

  Turkish Airlines now allows me to see the aircraft assinged to that flight, which makes it easy to avoid Boeing planes.

  You’re assuming I wanted to survive the flight

  Usually I boo when the plane lands
