Anytime Anywhere in my ass

Accidents happen all the time, mostly in general aviation (privately owned, usually small aircraft, but can include business jets). A lot of incidents are minor. Usually a wing strike or a collision with a ground vehicle. When there are accidents that result in loss of life, you may see the occasional news outlet pick it up. However, a majority of the time it’s just local news outlets.

You will see accidents more often than not in general aviation due to less stringent regulations and a varying degree of pilot experience. Commercial aviation still remains one of the safest forms of travel.

Something to note is that incidents are reported to the authorities (FAA/NTSB when necessary), but you are correct in that they are not reported on by news agencies. Shock and sensationalism sells, and I’m tired of seeing my news feed full of sensational clickbait titles in general.

Not to downplay the severity of what’s been happening recently (DCA, Philadelphia, and now Toronto), but what you are seeing in the news is the same thing that happened to trains after the East Palestine incident in Ohio. For months after the East Palestine incident, every major news outlet was talking about every trend derailment. There are an average of about three derailments a day in the US yet you don’t really see anybody but local news covering it nowadays.

There are incidents in aviation everyday whether there are engine failures that need to return to an airport or a runway excursion. It’s just the nature of news and media, to be sensational and get as many clicks as possible. “Oh a plane’s engine caught fire in Houston while on the takeoff roll! we better cover it because aviation is hot in the news!”

I don’t know if I’m imagining it, but I think I can see joy in the eyes of the beaker walking up to the cameraman as they come to beat this shit out of them

no no, God is doing this BECAUSE we’re polluting the earth. if you stop and reverse the pollution then he won’t be mad anymore…

You think that would work to get them to stop?

when I was a kid I had to retrieve a ball that went into a brush of prickly pear. I didn’t see any spikes coming out of it so I thought it was fine.

it hurt so much just to move my hand

Grand Thumb did a video on .22LR, and it definitely can still do damage at that range. Granted, you’d have to be an incredibly good shot, but could still be deadly

ok so I don’t really drink alcohol, but some online friends got me to try soju. Grabbed some from the store and… I don’t get it. very much an alcohol taste to it. I can taste the plum in it, but it’s just not that great imo.

only triple? there’s a couple that I’m waiting on a repress for that are listed for 10x the price
