Jesus, this has been a shocking year for aviation.
Holy hell. This could likely be the third plane that's gone down in only the past, week? The fifth, at least, this year too.
[QUOTE=Bradyns;45484018]Jesus, this has been a shocking year for aviation.[/QUOTE] If you compare it to the number of flights that have gone absolutely fine without any issues, not really
[QUOTE=JgcxCub;45484058]If you compare it to the number of flights that have gone absolutely fine without any issues, not really[/QUOTE] This is 6th. Last year there were 7. We're about half way through this year only.

reading about all these planes crashing, losing contact, and getting shot down is makin me super siked for my first ever plane trip, this fuckin saturday
[QUOTE=JgcxCub;45484058]If you compare it to the number of flights that have gone absolutely fine without any issues, not really[/QUOTE] Compared the amount of plane crashes last year, yes, it is starting to be an unusually high amount.
[QUOTE=bob4life;45484117]reading about all these planes crashing, losing contact, and getting shot down is makin me super siked for my first ever plane trip, this fuckin saturday[/QUOTE] I left from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport on the 20th, for my first flight ever. Don't sweat it, you'll be fine.
This doesn't necessarily mean that disaster has struck, correct? It's not going over the ocean so there's no way this incident going to reach the level of uncertainty that was reached by MH370.
I'm sure there's nothing out of the ordinary and the media is just taking advantage of the recent public plane scare by reporting much more on aviation related incidents than previously.
Somebody high up in the world seems to have acquired a huge fucking hate for planes this past year.
[QUOTE=mdeceiver79;45484097]This is 6th. Last year there were 7. We're about half way through this year only.[/QUOTE] If you consider non commercial small planes its 7 or probabaly more.
[QUOTE=adam1172;45484160]If you consider non commercial small planes its 7 or probabaly more.[/QUOTE] I wonder if there are more planes in the sky as opposed to last year.

For fucks sake. Remember people, you're more likely to die driving to the airport than flying!
fuck it, i'm taking the train from now on this is like the summer of '08 when all those celebrities died, except with planes [editline]24th July 2014[/editline] (i know its statistically safer, but cmon this is like the 4th-5th major crash in 2 months)
Guys its so simple can you not see it? with the recent breakthroughs in maglev trains the railroad tycoons are paying for these 'accidents' to take place to help strengthen the investments in their new railroads. wake up sheeple.
lol what the fuck is up with all this plane bullshit too cray yo
[QUOTE=EvacX;45484144]I'm sure there's nothing out of the ordinary and the media is just taking advantage of the recent public plane scare by reporting much more on aviation related incidents than previously.[/QUOTE] yes losing contact with a plane that was meant to land over seven and a half hours ago is totally normal
fuck it, let's build elon musk's hyperloop through all these places

Unconfirmed: It's crashed near the capital of Niger apparently..
Hopefully it's just the bad weather, and the plane just diverted from it's course to avoid it.
I have a flight in 12 hours... :suicide: If something happens, I loved you all.
Its probably not a crash, probably just a inconvenience with the onboard flight systems. [QUOTE=-Sleepy-*;45484776]I have a flight in 12 hours... :suicide: If something happens, I loved you all.[/QUOTE] How dare you cheat on me!
