The Gimli Glider! So many things came together to make this safe landing:

The co-pilot was a local and knew all the local airstrips

...including the decommissioned 10,000 foot military runway they ultimately chose as their destination

...but because it had been decommissioned, was now utilized by a local go-kart club for racing

...which, on that day, was indeed having a great time racing go-karts on the old runway

...and because there was no way to alert the people on the ground and the plane’s approach was utterly silent (NO ENGINES) with kids in go-karts were whizzing around on the runway, the final approach was, shall we say, alarming

...until a parent looked up and noticed a giant fucking airplane getting bigger and bigger

OH GOD HE’S LANDING HERE

Thus within seconds the whole area was cleared by frantic parents

Plane lands perfectly, but without power they had to drop the gear via gravity and the nose wheel failed to lock into place

Front gear collapses

Plane screeches to a halt, and because they landed at a go-kart event pretty much every dad has a fire extinguisher, so they manage to extinguish the small fire caused by friction

The only minor injuries were due to passengers jumping from the emergency exit slides, which dangled off the ground due to elevated tail height

If you have 27 spare minutes and want an excruciatingly detailed, technical breakdown of what happened as told by a real pilot, here’s the Mentour Pilot episode on the Gimli Glider.

I read an article about this back around 1990 and my favorite part was that, after landing and stopping, the pilots were reflexively going through the “crash landing” checklist, shutting down all the fuel pumps and lines to prevent a fire from spreading, until it dawned on them halfway through that they didn’t need to do those steps because the tanks were quite empty.

The colour alignment implies that the littlest brother is gonna eat the oldest brother’s phone

[theotheristhedoctor]

That’s just what little brothers do

in your opinion, what do you think the ghoulification process is like? sorry if you answered this before by the way

Step 1: Get heavily irradiated

Step 2: Don’t die

Step 3: Find out why

Step 4: Curse God

Step 5: Keep going

I find myself getting less and less ambitious the older I get.

When I was graduating high school I wanted to do great things and be super famous and change the world.  Now I just want to hang out and not bother anybody.
