The sad results of fishu's possession of a roll of quarters and the Wallmart flight sim he used.

"Good thing I landed on my cheeck and it caused no pain, as it connects only with bone"
-
I wonder if this is technically an accident or an incident....
-
I find it a little sick to even post this picture for a caption, I don't see anything even remotely funny about this situation.
-
VWE, he survived, essentially uninjured. Nobody died. Before you get your whiskers into an uproar, could you share your specific concern? Or were you unfamiliar w/ the circumstances?
-
I'm wondering if his legs are pinned....otherwise why would he still be sitting there even after the fire fighters are foaming the plane down. Also, all the boxes make you wonder if it was overloaded.
-
Chairboy, come to Iraq and see what I see almost daily and you too won't find a bloodied man sitting in the wreckage of an airplane anything to make fun of. Come away form your safe place and see death happen face to face, it'll change your outlook too.
-
Oh my goodness gracious, VWE, oh my paws and whiskers! Something bad happens one place, so everyone needs to stop finding humor anywhere else!
Good effort at trying to play the Iraq card, but it wasn't done terribly skillfully. Try not to fluster yourself into unconsciousness, your canned outrage has passed its expiration date.
-
Your a sick person, you should seek help.

life is pain
apparently.

The article says the pilot did suffer serious injuries. I was wondering that if that was true why was he still sitting there after the fire dept had obviously been there for a while. Perhaps the writer made a mistake?

It remains to be seen whether the injuries were that serious or not. The news article on the original link might not been accurate. The thing is that he's concious and reacts to the surroundings, which means he's not very seriously injured. A serious injury can be an open bone fracture.
He's alive regardless of the serious looking accident, but I simply can't bypass the fun factor of the photo, especially because he's alive. I doubt anyone can seriously say there's absolutely nothing funny in the photo. We've seen worse and we've had jokes of those.
Eitherway, it's too late for me to make any changes to this thread.

VWE, a tip for the future, you forgot to mention 9/11 or Dale Earnhardt. For messages like yours, that's really a big oversight. Also, an eagle with a single tear rolling down its cheek superimposed over an american flag next time might be good.

A Beech 18 like that can haul a decent about of weight, but loading is always a concern, both for weight and CG.
The Beech 18 is statistically one of the most dangerous aircraft in the sky, this is a result of it's primary role as a night cargo hauler, typically operated on a shoestring budget with old radial engines.

He tries to use the war in Iraq as a tool to bolster his message, and I'm the sweetheart? That's interesting.

No. He is saying his experiences there have changed his perspective and does not find pictures of bloody survivors funny. I understand his sensitivity but still find the matter fair game. You are just twisting the view to fit your skewed perspective. Hence, you are are a sweetheart. Don't be one.

So that makes it ok for him to try to force his perspective on others with demeaning talk and insults?
-
but still no explaination as to why he's still in his seat????
My guess is his legs are pinned. In wich case he's extremely lucky cause it looks like the plane literally broke up around him.

Chairboy or VWE? You have to admit they are both guilty.

As a noisey plane flew overhead while he was whispering sweet nothings to his girlfirend Serenity looked up at the plane and thought "Land" and it did.

distastefully thread imo... mocking an injured pilot.

Finn offends aviation forum posters by poking fun at an unfortunate and maimed pilot. Finn learns that in an aviation related forum, unfortunate and maimed pilots are as taboo to make fun of as unfortunate and maimed children.

Can anyone explain how you can't have both a sense of humor and of respectful empathy for that guy, or anyone in a bind?
Arbitrary censorship/taboos are a slippery slope.
