"I identify as an apache helicopter smuglord " why, because you're an overrated piece of shit that can't do anything right?

[-] Amerihay@hexbear.net 44 points 5 months ago

It's because they're a toxic burning trash heap

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 59 points 5 months ago

A spokesperson at the base said an “aviation mishap” was the cause of the accident, though he did not elaborate.

Typical. Maybe I'm just a better pilot, but the first rule of flying is don't crash.

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 29 points 5 months ago

I can imagine a Pentagon spokesman speaking to the media.

"It was a MCM event."

"A MCM event?"

"Mishap Caused Mishap event."

"But what does that mean?"

"Question asked and answered. Next question..."

That thing that happens when you try to open a bag of chips gently but wind up having to put so much force into it that the bag tears completely in half and chips fly everywhere can be a real killer when you flying a helicopter.

never ride in a helicopter. not even once

[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 44 points 5 months ago

Look, sometimes helicopters just crash, just like bridges sometimes collapse.

You can't explain that.

Then on the other hand, if it happens in Chyna? That's communism.

Gommunism when things bad and cheap, amirite?

neglected, 75 year old bridge collapses above the theater, crushing the performer and injuring several onlookers

Gobmulism bad, am I rite my fellow redditors (please upvote, give gold)

[-] supafuzz@hexbear.net 41 points 5 months ago

isn't this one of the ways they cover deaths in places they weren't supposed to be?

[-] zifnab25@hexbear.net 40 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Perhaps? But also helicopters are notoriously unreliable and difficult to pilot, particularly the high manueverability combat models.

The Navy Seals that came after OBL famously crashed two helicopters on the way in.

10,000 moving parts held together by contempt for god.

[-] Feinsteins_Ghost@hexbear.net 40 points 5 months ago

If it was me flying, i would just not crash.

I guess im just built different.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 37 points 5 months ago

Too busy teaching DEI and WOKE instead of FLYING in pilot school, shaking my goddamned head.

Reject flight.

REVTURN to Apaches killing Yankee soldiers.

They made Apache helis woke? frothingfash

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 19 points 5 months ago

Conspiracy theory time

The MIC is normalizing plane and heli crashes. Eventually they'll intentionally crash empty air vehicles via remote control. This will be done to hide US "boots on the ground" deaths in Gaza.

I'm nearly, entirely joking.

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
