When was it ever? And why would it be now?
… clap if the plane lands
All planes land, some more controlled than others.
Take-offs are optional; landings are mandatory.
I would argue that the one that exploded over DC last month had almost certainly ceased to be a plane by the time it hit the ground.
If you watch the more recent footage you can clearly see most of the plane slowly cartwheeling through the sky into the water. It was still mostly a plane.
Was on a flight a few months ago, and when we landed, no clapping - dead quiet. Out of the silence, I heard a, what must have been, six year old shout really loudly “WE DID IT!”.
Standing ovation if you’re on a Boeing plane.
Please remain seated until the seat belt sign is turned off.
Also… Why would you get into one of those things? In a plane, you are the crumple zone.
For business just teleconference.
For personal, I can tell you that photos tell the story pretty well. There are people there already taking the photos. You don’t need a selfie there, just use the Gimp. For everything else in the modern world, it all looks pretty close to how it looks at home.
There’s no need to travel. Specially within your country. Its not like high speed trains are any safer. And cars…what’s next the entire planet is a big ass road?
in order to visit one side of my family, which lives over 1000 miles away, a plane is by far the most convenient and fastest method.
No it isn’t.
I wonder who doesn’t like your comment. This clapping shit is so cringe. Maybe under some very difficult conditions. But hey, they’re trained for it? And I’m pretty sure they do it for themselves too lol
I’ve seen it in one or two movies or TV shows but never irl. Seen plenty of comments about it though
I’ve witnessed it on waaay more than one occasion. After a “just a normal landing”.
