stuff like this is why i’m lowkey terrified of flying also this isn’t a shitpost
I can assure you some pants were shit on that flight
Jimmy Dore is not a reliable source.
Put your fking seatbelts on. All the time.
how that a shitpost tho
Anything about Jimmy Dore is a shitpost but which sub or whatever is this more suitable for?
Because everybody on the plane shit themselves.
This ain’t no shitpost.
You’re right, but I don’t think The Internet cares.
Remind us who cut funding to FAA?
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.
Obama was copilot? Smoking crack in the back in his tan suit? With Dijon mustard?
Smoking the mustard and putting crack on the hotdog.
hotdog
why you gotta bring hulk hogan’s skin into this?
Whatcha gonna do brother? WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN THE COCAINE, GEAR, TANNING BEDS AND RACISM RUN WILD OVER YOU?!
hulk hogan was the real copilot all along.
it was the one armed man! you gotta believe me!
Which time? In January or in Trump’s last term?
I’m flying out of Burbank Monday 😃
keep your seatbelt on or that might be true more ways than one.
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
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.
Bus and Rail rules.
Motorcycles are for the young who don’t want to get old.
Last time I posted something about this, it was downvoted to oblivion. Glad to see that didn’t happen here. There are some statistical quirks that make this obvious once you think about it though.
Planes tend to make long trips, so anything measured on a per-km basis is going to be wildly diluted. Nobody is taking a plane to travel a few blocks. Something like a car will tend to make much shorter (but more frequent) trips, so the per-km stat won’t be diluted. But inversely, the per-trip stat will be diluted with cars, purely because they’re used much more often.
It sure feels like that margin has been shrinking in the last year or so.
They have seatbelts, but for the most of the flight they are unused - you only need to buckle in during takeoff, landing, and if when encountering turbulence.
I guess there wasn’t enough time to get all the passengers to fasten their seatbelts before the collision?
I wonder if you’ve ever listened to the part of the safety briefing before every flight where they instruct you to keep the seatbelt fastened throughout the entire flight.
Judging by the number of clicks I hear when the seatbelt light turns off, I’d say most people don’t.
You should always have the belt on unless you are standing up for some reason. This story is exactly why.
Where I fly they also always advise to remain fastener regardless of no immediate warnigs. Exactly for situations like this - and others.
Yeah, but people are still going to be using the bathrooms and such, even if you assume everyone actually obeys the rules
because of a few exception cases this is never going to work
Of course, but it should be the 2-4 people who are actively going somewhere / in the bathroom, everyone else should have their seatbelt on.
And airplanes shouldn’t be in each other’s airspace
I don’t know what you’re trying to say, the airplanes nearly running into each other is the clear problem
Check out John Oliver’s take on air traffic control on LWT
I was a kid when Reagan fired all the striking air traffic controllers. It turns out it takes a long time to train them, so we haven’t recovered from that one incident. It also means all ATCs are overworked, still underpaid and using outdated hardware and methods.
Air travel was screwed even before Trump defunded the FAA.
There are things you can control and things you can’t. I can’t keep the planes out of each other’s airspace, but I can keep my seat belt on.
That would be more insightful if I wasn’t a pilot…
Tap for spoiler
I’m not.
And this is why I don’t fly anymore. It was never an enjoyable experience (except takeoff. Wee!!) and now it’s even less worth it.
Now I find myself having a depressed opinion on the lack of train options.
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?
Exactly. I don’t say those things at work anymore because they are too many of them.
I can’t help wondering if they are remorseful.
One thing I know is people don’t like to be told. I stop correcting them. The more we point out their flaws, the more irrationally they will hold on to the false beliefs
A fascinating theory I read is that MAGA is making a big deal out of Epstein because it provides an off-ramp that lets them save face.
Legit I’m like "bruh, you’re upset that your billionaire ‘grab em by the pussy’, ‘accidentally’ walking into the miss teen usa changing room, ‘I’d fuck my daughter if she wasn’t my daughter’ president is on a list of billionaire sexual predators? I’m glad that something finally looks like it might stick to him but c’mon guys.
They will instead irrationality believe that it’s working in their favour and be emboldened. They didn’t reach their position by being rational. Don’t let a bully tell you that you deserved it after he punches you in the face.
It’s working for Russia
Uh, what? Something like 80 % of their economy is now government spending.
TCAS is working overtime to make up for the years of neglecting the FAA.
This is very dangerous. Time to remove regulations for collision warning systems on airplanes, so dangerous maneuvers like this don’t happen in the future

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
Yeah, just let the pilots fly Tony Hawk freestyle. Time to get creative!
Sitting in an airport right now. Great.
Can I have your computer if you die?
I won’t be using them, ha.
Well? Does u/Agent641 get the computer?
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.
Yeah I’m not a fan but his being directly involved merits the exposure
He’s always been a grifter
Yeah Jimmy Dore fucks around with Alex Jones. They can both go to hell
It just blows me away how many people are just responding to this without addressing it…
I had no idea who this person was until @zelahdieliekeis@piefed.blahaj.zone’s comment prompted me to look into it. Calling out crap like this is helpful.
That’s why I stopped watching him in 2017.
…should we hire more tower administators, and look into the epstein files?..
Nah, let’s cut them and burn the evidence!
Well hold up. I wasn’t on that plane so actually yeah you’re right.
See!
Empathy hard
We’re empathizing (with each other and no others) so hard.
Im starting to think that the people I consider to be “the others” are getting what they deserve. That makes me hard
Its pretry great! I just imagined a composite of negative stereotypes kind of person to hate and that the plane with all the bumped heads was going to a convention for those people. I’ve talked to my congressman about it, and he says if he can get through while it’s still in American airspace, it will be shot down!
