@AgentPeak82 It is true. All these people had been flying for close to 32, 000 years when this happened.. wait a minute! But yeah I know what you're saying the odds are low.

@AgentPeak82 yeh but it might be on the very first flight you dumbass

[plasticspastic201]

why the fuck is elvis narrating this?

[oracle2world]

No one died, so does this one count?

[AgentPeak82]

dont be scared of airplanes, scientists say if you flew on an airplane everyday for 32,000 years you might have crashed once

i fly all of the time and it is safer than riding a car

by the way pilots are very well trained, its SO unlikely for this to hapen!
