How on Earth did everyone survive. This may be a delayed Christmas miracle.
Edit: Looks like they 'only' hit 4.8km before blow out. They are really, really lucky that Boeing engineering is so shitty that stuff already fails at such low altitudes
Besides the person directly adjacent falling out of the plane, I don't see why there would be a high risk of dying from this incident.
Innovation in how to provide the least possible service for the most possible money
lol, Amelia Bedelia designs an Emergency Exit
Wasn't even the emergency exit, just a whole window/side panel lol
Emergency exit plug I've read. Like, for an optional door
With optional screws
They're part of the deluxe upgrade. Includes the season pass.
Hope that guy was wearing a seatbelt
The window seat was empty
definitely is now.
I haven't flown much, but I've stayed fucking far away from that Boeing shit after the first crash. I just want HSR
This is always my biggest fear when I have to go into a plane
Isn’t this the plane that required airlines to buy DLC to unlock safety features resulting in hundreds of deaths?
