When I board a plane and sit in coach, I just smile, 'cause I know there some 6'4" guy being cramped up, all the while, I stretch my 5'7" (5'8" on a good day) out and enjoy the flight. And I highly doubt that by being shorter that I utilized less resources,.......highly doubt that. Link to comment
Joe Frickin' Friday Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Don't watch this while eating. Or after eating. Or before, for that matter. In fact, you probably just shouldn't watch it at all; it's pretty gruesome. OK, you've been warned. Link to comment

Several years ago I was heading home from the NC mountains and came across a mini horse trotting along the roadway in Flat Rock. This was a semi-residential and small farm area. I was able to turn around and follow/push the horse in the direction it had come, and it eventually turned up a long entrance road of a gated farmette community. I got off and tried to get close to him to grab his halter, but it kept darting away. Eventually he went through the open gate and, hopefully, back to his pasture. 3 Link to comment

I wonder how many of these jets Brad actually piloted? The title screen showing a DC-10 in FedEx livery reminds me of FedEx flight 705. The short version is that a FedEx pilot facing possible dismissal was deadheading on this flight, and he tried to take over the plane by literally hammering the cockpit crew members heads in, with the final goal being to crash the plane into FedEx headquarters. The crew, with cracked skulls and dangling ears, somehow fought back and managed to wrestle him under control until they were able to get the plane landed.

TEWKS Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I’m going to say that worker hung around just a bit too long before thinking about getting out of the building. There was a lot of fire behind him which yes, it doesn’t take long to get going like that but at some point, your self preservation inner voice needs to kick in and say “run Forrest run”! Worked out well. 1 Link to comment

Rougarou Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Awww man,.....I wouldn't do that to a flatty,.....a flatty is a display driver, not a real trail driver,.....those be classic body styles (if original). That guy is no different than solo free climbers. Seen quite a few flops and rolls when I was playing on the trails. Anyway, my last Jeep, the first mod was to adapt the "sport cage" to be a full cage tied to the frame. This head's too valuable to hurt in a flop or roll and the wife n kids were important too.

Danger happens quickly. I wouldn't say this guy didn't understand that. The front right hits loose stuff, which appears to me, to cause the back to kick to the left, crossing it up a bit. What this guy lacked was a spotter to give him proper direction. When you are angled up like that, you cannot see in front of you what the best line is. Maybe he's done this trail a'plenty and felt it a "no problem", I dunno, I know I've done plenty of trails over and over to the point that I woulda been complacent in my driving. Link to comment
