Epic WTF

Here you go. ‘Everybody flies’, presumably a play on everybody dies?

Some people are nervous flyers and are glad it’s over. Others feel excited by flying and clap because the exciting experience/performance is over.

Had two aborted landings at Gatwick (I think) once. Everyone clapped and no one judged.

I had a connecting flight once. Shit experience, never again. If I can't fly direct from London I don't go.

I’m n a flight there were about 60 really excited French kids all in the front row.
They were wired and supper chatty.
Then the plane hit a fair amount of turbulence. The landing was tricky and we hit the runway hard.
That’s the only time I heard applause on a flight. In the context…it was merited

It's called bleed air and you're referring to aerotoxic syndrome: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerotoxic_syndrome

Still disputed but there seems to be plenty of circumstantial/anecdotal evidence

Interesting. Wonder if this is what causes the “airplane smell”?

Documentary producer said it (May be a prime cause or) caused the post-flight respiratory ailments that most passengers attribute to being enclosed in the cabin with loads of strangers.

I think that's just HEPA-filtered farts

Possibly not epic - more … “ blimey ! “ , but watching the trampoline/tumbling world champs on the BBC at the moment - wow , they are completely bonkers …

election result NL. we're a country full of racist wankers, it's official now. sorry.

We've continued wearing masks on flights. Not for 'rona but because our airways aren't so fucked after breathing in all that cold, dry air for hours.

Didn’t even realise Geert Wilders was still a thing until I saw that headline. Poor show, Dutch cousins.

Javier Milei in the recent Argentine PM elections tho...

And the real wtf is that he was the better of the two candidates - at least in terms of past performance as a leader of the country. Milei may by a right-wing absolute literal crackpot, but he hasn't caused the eclmonybto economic nosedive spectacularly.

[Edit] Always proof read your posts, kids.

tbf I never realised how harmful an eclmonybto nosedive was until now

I'll re-read the Brexit thread just to be prepared
