hard to be moved by this

Kind of an understatement, the bomber NOT crashing would literally be the bigger disaster

Stuff like this reminds me of how the Demon Core acquired memetic infamy for killing a bunch of people, when people should remember that its original intended purpose was to murder many thousands of civilains before Japan surrendered

[–] WalleyeWarrior@midwest.social 46 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's funny when weapons end up killing the people that tried to use it. Like how the Sig Sauer was designed to kills dogs and unarmed minorities but it instead shoots cops in the groin. Karma is a funny bitch.

Wile E Coyote trying to get the Road Runner with some form of catapult or mangonel and it fires directly upwards and down on himself.

Would be a shame if it happens a third time

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Planes crashing more than in GTA San Andreas.

[–] Ildsaye@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

Like in SimCity 2000 when I zoned dense commercial right at the end of the airport's runway

[–] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I never thought watching the empire crumble would be this much fun!

Anybody got a translation?

[–] miz@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

google translate renders it as

Sounds chill, lol.

The text wasn't written properly, every letter is detached.

I think it might also be backwards.

Everyone is dead

World is a fuck

Nice. There's only a couple of dozen of these left, they stopped making them back in the 60s.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Idk, could be underestimating how many were made

[–] SwitchyandWitchy@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

A lot were made but quite a few were shot down by the VPAAF and quite a few are also in boneyards used for parts to keep others flying.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah that's the real question. Although in crashes like this not as helpful to help replace parts.

Honestly when saw first headline thought it was just a minor engine failure then hard landing not this

A Plane Crash is a little ol' thing where

Everybody dies in fire!

Plane Crash, baby

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Never get in a plane, bay-bee

Never get in a plane baby!

Plane Crash, Plane Crash!

[–] SteamedHamberder@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago

If got a plane it’s as big as a whale and it’s about to faiiiillll

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 30 points 1 week ago

For a second I was wondering if this was a hit by an Iranian missile, but unfortunately it's in CA and the IRGC isn't quite that cool.

And Congress is about to hand the Pentagon $1.5T when $800B isn't enough to keep their planes maintained and flying.

The state of that thread, holy shit. It really is indistinguishable from 4 Chan

The new Havana syndrome

[–] MemesAreTheory@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago

And nothing of value was lost. wholesome

[–] DornerStan@lemmygrad.ml 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's terrible that these eight got to die quick, painless deaths.

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Did they die instantly? There is a chance they burned alive lol

[–] DornerStan@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hopefully time slowed down so their last moments of panic and burning felt like an eternity

[–] sangeteria@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 week ago

Threatening people with the eternal torment of hell is often done too casually and without gravitasse. With this in mind, I hope the unending divine punishment to be inflicted on the imperial forces is unthinkably worse than our puny human conception of what hell is.

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Rookie mistake, before taking your 70+ year old car/sailing vessel/aeroplane out of the garage and take it out for a spin, you gotta check it to make sure it's in good condition.

[–] doleo@lemmy.one 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Claude said it was fine, so...

"You are absolutely right."

[–] red_giant@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

it’s not like it’s an F-35, it was supposed to be safe

[–] schlongjohnson@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago

not the person killer!

Pretty crazy that some dipshit almost fulfilled most Californians desire to wipe Bakersfield off the map.

[–] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

How this shit evaporated like that? Was full of fuel and carrying bomb?

[–] context@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

it crashed right after takeoff, so yes, it was full of fuel

[–] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Jet fuel can evaporate steel beams

[–] context@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

you know steel is too heavy to use for an airframe, right? a b-52 is mostly aluminium.

[–] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

I said because of the 9/11 meme but yeah is an alloy with titanium, aluminium, steel and other metals.

[–] FnordPrefect@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago

kelly Planet There!

[–] daniyeg@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago
