    Not saying it's likely you survive, but you never know.

    I’d rather take my chances in the air than crashing then getting burned to a crisp.

    **** yeah

    If you jump out, then you could conceivably miss.

    So you’re saying there’s a chance…

    Theres something about just closing your eyes and not knowing the moment of impact that leads to an instant death that gives me more solace. I dont want to jump out and then see the Earth getting bigger and bigger and counting down the moment for impact of instant death.

    Its kinda like getting blood taken. It doesnt hurt, it wont harm me, but watching my very own life-fluid ooze out of me is very hard to watch. Out of sight, out of mind.

    You guys seen the Nepali flight live crash.

    it’s one of the most uniquely unsettling videos I’ve ever seen.

    Better than gravity and fire.

    I don’t care about how I die, I’m dead after. I want to try to live.

    All planes should have parachutes just like the little planes. Except, they are attached to and deploy from the top of the cabin so they land upright. These f-ing things fall from the sky way too often.

    What...no good?
