Helicopters doing more praxis every year then all of us.

Sad for the kids tho, in ten years they probably would have been assholes, but still

Maybe, maybe not. They're kids, and didn't do anything to deserve to die in one of the world's most dangerous vehicles.

Idk, I saw a piece about this on some tabloid news program earlier today, and they just kept talking about how these kids died horribly, and almost seemed to relish in it.

There was was an unsettling glee to which they showed off the spectacle and it just made me feel sick to my stomach.

Stuff like that sells, it’s just news sites and companies tugging at people’s emotions to generate clicks or viewers.

Wait til it happens to a poor kid and see how much that generates.

Next thing you'll tell me there's a thieving financier named Ernie Madoff or something stupid like that

man, I knew that shit was gonna be rich assholes. sucks for the crew and their families.

99% of the time, the only innocent passengers to bite it in a helicopter crash are like medical evac/flight patients, and after seeing what those companies bill them for a flight... personally I'd rather die cooking to death in helicopter gas than get the bill for that shit.

at least with a crash, the insurance would probably have to pay out enough so my funeral could be catered all you can eat/buffet style and like maybe we could license Kansas - Dust in the Wind to play while everybody is stuffing themselves with Mac n Cheese and ribs.

i've only been to two funerals in my life and was not hungry in either case.. which was good because the only thing there was shitty little sandwiches and chips

[-] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago

if people aren't emotional eating at my funeral, they aren't celebrating my life.

NY Times workshopped the headline a bunch and eventually settled on "Tourists"
