This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Let's be honest. The airline disaster in recent history was when a door fell off and literally no one died.

There was one guy whose iPhone fell out of the plane and he literally got it back intact. He got an iPhone back intact.

Even the worst most unsafe aircraft are pretty reliable

It's amazing what proper regulations that are designed to prioritize safety over profit can accomplish, and how quickly stark examples of the dangers start happening when those regulations are sidestepped or dismantled...

Fixed wing aircraft, helicopters are abominable and deserve more fear and respect.
