I mean crashing technically counts as a landing. We can use the rocketry term lithobraking to make it sound better.

Any landing where you can walk away from the plane is a good landing.

Any landing where you can reuse the plane is a great landing.

Another senseless tragedy. Boeing sends thoughts and prayers to the family of littletranspunk

Trains are better than planes, because in the railroads, blowing a whistle is just a normal safety practice

Sure but what if they think it’s an approving clap vs horrified-for-my-life-now-relieved clap?

Add a firm but reassuring “Thank fuck for that! Now I can get off this death trap.”

I flew on a Delta 737 with duct tape everywhere. Was delayed. Then an Airbus 321 and because of delay they shut off the engines. But then the auxiliary power unit wouldn’t start to restart the engines and had to be towed back to the gate. I’m wondering who maintains thaes planes anymore, sketchy all around…

You know how every single industry is decaying and getting worse because organizations don’t value the people who do the work and just amass wealth in the upper echelons of the enterprise?

Well they’re doing it in the aerospace industry, too
