HFS!

want to see that bagram airfield crash?!?!

We still don't know much about the seven people who died when a cargo plane crashed Monday at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan, but dashboard camera footage surfaced Tuesday morning on the website LiveLeak — and it provides more answers than you may even feel comfortable watching. (via)

you don't. but you do. just watch it. the comments on the article are morbidly fascinating.

Window Pain!

The Auburn War Eagle was too drunk to perform his pregame flight and crashed squarely into a luxury box window. Figures, amiright? He's ok though.

someone made a bad decision

a passenger snuck a crocodile onto a regional turbojet in the congo and didnt live to regret his decision. the croc bit his way out of the sportsbag he was stuffed into, then ran amok in the cabin of the plane freaking out everyone. the panic on the small plane shifted the weight balance causing the jet to spin and crash into an abandoned house. there was one survivor. the crocodile survived too, but was killed with a machete during the rescue attempt. bad choices. via.

RIP, Government of Poland

our hearts go out to you. the president and their equivalent to the four joint chiefs and the leader of their central bank all died in a plane crash in heavy fog in russia. they were trying to land and came up short of the airfield and crashing into some trees. the national tragedy killed 97 people.

ironically, the president was on the way to this specific place in russia because to commemorate the loss of 20,000 polish elite officers killed by russians there 70 years ago.

wedding gone wrong

this italian couple had this charming idea to have the wedding bouquet tossed from an airplane.

what could go wrong with that? well, the bouquet got sucked in the engine, blew it up, the plane crashed into a hostel. AH hah AHAHA HAHAH AHA ahahahaha. one injured, no one died.

wedding ruined.

another plane crash

The aircraft, operated by Tehran-based Caspian Airlines, was carrying 153 passengers and 15 crew members, state television reported. Television images from the scene showed smoking ruins, with body parts and bits of the plane’s shattered fuselage scattered on the field where the plane crashed. Emergency workers could be seen picking through the wreckage. The crash gouged a trench more than 10 feet deep in the field, near the village of Jannatabad, state news agencies said. (nytimes)

here's a riddle...

Q: what's the only thing worse than taking off in a plane from nashville and having to make a surprise stop in west virginia? (i know what you're thinking. but no, this isn't a trick question...)

A: discovering there is a gd HOLE IN YOUR PLANE!!!!

that's terrifying.

The Air France plane that crashed last month with 228 people aboard "did not break up or become destroyed in flight," the French air investigation agency announced Thursday. "The plane went straight down ... towards the surface of the water, very very fast," air accident investigator Alain Bouillard said. (cnn)

the apocalypse

i wish celebs would quit dying and planes would stop crashing, please.

PARIS — Teams searching the Indian Ocean for survivors of the crash of a Yemeni passenger jet early Tuesday have rescued a child, officials there said, as air safety authorities in Europe raised questions about the plane that went down near the island nation of Comoros with 153 people on board. (nytimes)

just saying

i think i might have a clue about where that air france flight went...
