I saw Snakes on a Plane once. This obviously hits me hard.

Chill homie....think of all the motoring fatalities as you read this. Its staggering how safe air travel is. This is a very rare event especially compared to all the flights going on around just the US today. Also, a fricking engine blew the frick up and it still made a smooth landing.

Add 1mg more to your Xanax and grab a vodka n tonic. Alls well

BTW, Bose QuietComfort.....get them.

That looks explosive. Surprised it didn’t break the damn wing. I’d assume the wing has enough stress on it while flying.

Just one of the reasons they tell you to stay buckled up.

I'm the exact opposite.

I'm flying out of DFW Thursday morning. A couple of weeks back had to fly out of DAL and it was very meh.

I know they run those turbines through very violent failure tests to make sure they dont spit chunks out at the plane. Would like to see some detailed pictures of the engine
