And yet, American at least has done this as well, with little fanfare. I was on an unscheduled A330 flight from Philly to Boston after storms caused all sorts of cancellations and chaos. The plane was just sitting there for a later that day international flight, and they had a crew with enough duty time left, so they…

How is this not theft? If I did this to a neighbor and their lawnmower I would be in prison within 3 days.

Better angle: Even more clear it’s the boater’s fault.

This was 100% the boat captain’s fault. I grew up in Vancouver and in the harbour. I have navigated power boats and sailboats through the harbour many many times.

If I remember the rules right, this is on the boat owner assuming the path was clear when the plane started its takeoff roll / first touched down on the water. It can’t stop, after all, and the boat certainly can change directions much faster (making it the more maneuverable of the two).

OK, it looks like Starship also touched down in the ocean, although it took a hell of a beating on the way down. :D

Sorry to partially disappoint; the Booster successfully landed in the ocean only a short while ago. (WHEEEEEE!!! What an amazing sight. :D)

How “strong” tungsten is, is completely irrelevant. I’m sure 45 pounds of anything dropped from that height onto that roof would’ve done the same thing.

WRONG. the avalanche and ext are exactly what a truck should be. can tow. 8 ft bed. gigantic cab, v8, covered storage in bed. mpg and Cadillac are cons for sure though

the honda ridgeline, hands down the most useless truck in recent history.
only because those pieces of shit they called hummers are not actually trucks.

Jeep Gladiator -

I feel like I’ve seen those for sale with either wood or carpet at the truck bed. 

The Chevy SSR:

what are you talking about?  the first operational f35s were delivered in 2011; you’re 5 years off

Also for context: that trillion dollars cost is more than any other defense program in US history.  The entirety of World War II for the US, adjusted for inflation, cost 4 Trillion dollars.

...but 100% of “fly the plane into the ground” incidents are life ending.

I’m sure you’ve got it all figured out.

I don’t cruise, but have watched enough travel videos from those who do to understand that the design of modern cruise ships make it VERY hard to just “fall”. Every railing, ledge, balcony, etc. is at least chest-high for an average-sized adult - some are more than head-high.  The conclusion they all point to is that…

You know, that Japanese brand that used to make some pretty cool sporty cars but now only makes a bunch of boring, forgettable crossovers.

“Total loss” just means “it costs too much to fix”.
