Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Edit it was for me to easily find back. Inwas suspicious of this person claiming it's faked. Miraculous surviving happens all the time. It's just a very low chance. But like people have survived falling out of planes without parachutes to the middle of the jungle
An article I noted but can't remember where.
Said seat 11a is next the the exit at the front of the wing. And pointed out this is the most structural reinforced section of the aircraft. Due to the forces on the wing.
So he was fucking lucky.
Yeah that sort of luck is hard to believe, but so is winning the lottery. But it usually happens to someone.
Honestly, for him, I hope he was drunk. Otherwise, or even if he was, he'll have fucking hard trauma forever. But studies show that you're more likely to survive accidents and get less mental trauma if you're drunk. (Although being drunk is often the cause for accidents, so discounting that...)
Anyway, incredible luck in such misfortune
Yeah he has been reported to comment. "He watched people die in front of him"
So likely he is already starting to feel some PTSD. It is likely to get much worse as he gets over the shock. India is also far from a positive nation to have a mental health issue.
Few places are great. But Indias culture is very much know to deny the existence. And opinion the idea it would be his weakness rather then a normal issue.
So seeking treatment may never happen.
