There is a lot we don’t know. What were they assigned, what were they flying. The article mentions that the crew “missed an appointed turn”, so it would seem like pilot error, but who knows.

Sure, the headline is clickbait-y. On the other hand, when a controller has to direct you to expedite climb to avoid terrain... yea. As a passenger that’s “nearly crashed into a mountain”. I don't want it any closer. They were probably seconds from the GPWS going off.

You’re not wrong, but you’re not completely right either. You assume (almost certainly incorrectly) that aliens would have our primitive technology. *We* could detect an earthlike planet every 365 days. The aliens’ Zippy-Qwik Planet Finder could do it much more efficiently.

“We work for URANUS”.

Sounds like decent (ok, middling) Sci fi.

Ah no, I need the beans. For science.

I laughed harder than I should have at this :)

Morons.

Jesus.

Yea. That's why (when I had to do with people wearing helmets) I was being a nag about chin-straps. Otherwise your hard-hat (or helmet) is just decoration.

Wait. You don't need a special license? Surely you are not allowed to drive a truck this heavy on just a normal driver's license?

It’s a car. It’s not worth a human life. Not even an injury. If the only way the cops have to apprehend this criminal mastermind, who boosted a car from the sidewalk, is to give chase like maniacs, we need to rethink the whole concept of police.

Morons.

Sure, but 4k? That’s bordering on f-it money. It’s a car. It’s a convertible. It is in good condition. It will probably last 5 years without major issues. I'd say that warrants a NP. Whether you or I actually want it, well, that's another question.

I tried it (was free on Epic or something) and I couldn't play very much. Sure, I'm not a great Marvel fan, but that wasn't the main thing. Cards?! Why?! You have a cool Marvel X-com clone and you use these stupid cards? I was very disappointed.

The photo of the camper interior gave me actual fear. No dice.

Nein! Not 8k, not 4k, not 2k. This one is junked.

A Boeing 747, special edition. Sure, it gets crappy mpg, but you cannot beat it for luxury, safety and speed. Lots of garage space, but a definite head-turner!

I'd LOVE to.

It is large, impractical and more american than apple pie (which is European anyway). I love it. There is no garage large enough to house it here, no parking space big enough and the streets are too narrow. And yet I covet it. Nice price all the way.
