...should we hire more tower administators, and look into the epstein files?....

[-] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 months ago

Nah, let's cut them and burn the evidence!

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

Put your fking seatbelts on. All the time.

stuff like this is why i'm lowkey terrified of flying also this isn't a shitpost

[-] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Yeah, shitpost needs some better moderation. Shitpost has literally just become post whatever you want. And if that's what it is, I guess that's what it is, but the term "shitpost" to me had always been someone coming and derailing serious threads with nonsense opinions, unrelated pics, etc. So silly trolling.

This post is a picture of a tweet about a near mid-air collision. Unless the second plane was just fucking around, shitflying as they say, I don't know that it qualifies for the low, low bar that is shitposting.

So you'd rather stick to the ground, where you can't dive to avoid an oncoming vehicle?

[-] mlegstrong@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

I can assure you some pants were shit on that flight

[-] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

You're right, but I don't think The Internet cares.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

You have to admit it'd be pretty shitty to run into another airplane in the sky though?

[-] CatDogL0ver@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Remind us who cut funding to FAA?

[-] bigkahuna1986@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 months ago

This is Joe Biden s fault. I don't mean he cut funding or anything like that, I mean he was literally flying the other plane. It was full of woke trans immigrants headed to Texas so Democrats can get more votes while simultaneously rigging the election.

[-] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Your response here is an excellent example of shitposting. You are the new moderator. Keep up the shitty work.

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Obama was copilot? Smoking crack in the back in his tan suit? With Dijon mustard?

[-] Alaik@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

Smoking the mustard and putting crack on the hotdog.

Relevant news story about air traffic control.

This is very dangerous. Time to remove regulations for collision warning systems on airplanes, so dangerous maneuvers like this donโ€™t happen in the future

Tap for spoiler/s

[-] MisterD@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

Time a different kind of fireworks.

The kind that only happens near airports. Hopefully, some of the billionaires who wanted this shit will be part of the fireworks

Is gutting the federal government working yet? Is the swamp drained? Is the winning complete? Are my bigoted piece of shit nazi flag flying neighbors satisfied yet?

[-] Screamium@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

It's working for Russia

Fuck Jimmy Dore, he turned against the queers. Last I saw a video of him interviewing with some bad-faith transmedicalist harassing people at pride acting all innocent like "I'm just asking questions" - his loud mouth was good as 2016 was going down but of course loudmouths don't always know when to shut it.

[-] DesolateMood@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

Don't planes have seatbelts? How did so many people manage to fly out of their seats?

Also friendly reminder to everybody that planes are still the safest mode of transportation by a significant margin

[-] shane@feddit.nl 4 points 2 months ago

Planes are the safest form of transportation if you look at safety per km travelled. If you look at other metrics, like safety per trip or per travel time then they are less safe than busses or trains.

[-] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

As with all statistics, you can make the numbers say what we you want. Planes can carry 500+ people, so an incident risks all 500 of those passengers; similar for rail, but not so much for the bus. And I think about bus and there's two different kinds of buses, IMO, the inner city bus that's on the road for hours, but doing few miles while making frequent stops. Not sure what a journey is then, whether it's stop by stop or from start to finish. And there's

So yeah, I dunno. If it's your time it's your time. I don't think any of these means of travel are "unsafe," whatever that means. But I'll still have a couple of beers before I get on the plane, because I'm not afraid of flying, but having a couple beers beforehand makes it better.

Have to admit this is kind of funny.

TCAS is working overtime to make up for the years of neglecting the FAA.

[-] nul9o9@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

I'm flying out of Burbank Monday ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

[-] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

It's cool, this was their incident, so clock reset. Can't happen twice in so short a span, no way!
