Plane Crashes

[sufi]

Why are they so fascinating?

I have a lot of points to make on this thread

 

[sufi]

I read a magazine article about this woman when i was a kid that absolutely stuck in my mind, how as a child she survived a plane crash in the amazon

 

[sufi]

films with plane crash scenes

watch a list hollywood actors plunge to their doom (and survive)



you can tell that a huge portions of big budget imagination energy has gone into visualising these scenes (as so few humans have been thru these experiences and lived to tell the tale),

something something about the end of the petrochemical era in the face of microtechnology as millions of dollars of equipment plunge to the bottom of the ocean

and political assassinations notably in central africa

also 9/11

Let's not forget the four indigenous kids who survived for 40 days after a plane crash in the Colombian jungle because they knew what to eat and what not to:

Well they could be complete jerks for all I know. But they did survive.

Have you ever been stuck in heavy turbulence? We got caught in a storm coming back from America when we were kids- i was quite thrilled by it- but it was so bad my mum wouldn't fly for 10+ years after that

Air Crash Investigation easily one of the best programs on the shit reality channels

Just the other week, one of my flights took off straight through a thunderstorm, saw lightning and everything.

worst i experienced was flying into LDN city one night when the spice girls were playing the dome and almost ended up on the stage

the original airplane disater films (not the stupid comedy parodies that eclipsed them) were brilliant

Airport '77 - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The plot concerns a private Boeing 747 packed with VIPs and priceless art that is hijacked before crashing into the ocean in the Bermuda Triangle, prompting the survivors to undertake a desperate struggle for survival.[2][3]

 

[version]

There was that guy a while back who stole a plane, flew it around a bit then deliberately crashed it and killed himself.

The thing that really stood out was how calm and reasonable he sounded talking to air traffic control.

"Just a broken guy, got a few screws loose, I guess."

Aka Sky King

Flight 191 seems to be cursed...so many crashes, Delta retired the number. Then again, go to Wikipedia and search "Flight..." and any number, and quite a few have fallen out of the sky.
A few recent incidents of ground staff being sucked into the engine too.
