Are wombats allowed to ride bikes? Especially if they’re rabid.

Hey, dipshit. Thanks for the easily exploitable comment.

Damn! Thanks for pointing that out.

I propose that those who care and wish to show it, if possible, wear blue on Father’s Day. Take it one extra step by holding the number 6 somewhere in a picture and tagging the Blue Angels on Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, wherever. Show support for his family, friends, and brothers in arms.

Thank you for verifying that this is not a far-fetched idea. I don’t think some people see it as being a possibility, instead wanting to think that he was out cold. All I saw was a very brave pilot doing his best to make sure no lives were lost on the ground, and we should all be eternally grateful for that.

I went by photos of the crash scene that were put up on a few news sites. There was a white building, a log fence, and then a log cabin. It’s actually an extremely precise area, and that makes me think he hit that spot for sure instead of luck bringing the plane there. 10 feet in either direction would have been very…

It looks like the red dot is where the video was being taken and the green is the area where the plane hit the ground

Wow...

One of the hardest parts, in my opinion, is watching the other guys fly around, knowing that they’re looking down on their fallen brother.

You already said it all. All I can say is that I agree 100% with everything you just wrote. Well said.

That is correct.

As it should be. It takes a very noble and selfless human being to do that as opposed to just going the CYA route and letting others suffer.

Same. It’s hard to think that he’d sit in there and just wait for things to get better instead of ejecting the very second he had the chance. Wasn’t there a video of a CF-18 doing just that? The plane experienced some major fulfunction, the pilots flew it far enough away from civilians so as to have the jet crash in a…

So I don’t know the first thing about trucks, and I’m not going to act like I do, but... don’t most truck owners put a bed liner in there for this very reason?

Military grade? 7075? They should give the alloy instead of a vague title. Hilarious, though.

Yeah, I did what I always get pissed off at other people for and I commented before reading deeper. Sorry about that. That being said; I don’t see any ill intent on your behalf, especially no form of “cruel jokes”... I’m not someone who is believer of any kind of faith, but I can appreciate the kind words and…

“It looks to me like there was some catastrophic failure and the plane is coming pretty much straight down”

Are you saying you think he did it on purpose or it was a result of the circumstances?
