No Worries About Domestic Terrorism

Just let you speak for yourself.

Yes, the possible rain, while worrisome, is not the most urgent concern. Doesn't make it any less of a concern. Got it?

That's like saying your car is a safer method of travel than airplanes because your car wont fall outa the sky if the engine fails.

I'll drink to that...

And yes, I have flown before. Once...

Wife and I always disagreed on trans-ocean travel. She wants to travel by air, I prefer a ship.

I can swim a little bit, but can't fly at all...

Yeah, I sure hope they're watching those violent Muslims out in Elohim City....

I actually ended up in Elohim City back in the late 1990's by accident. I was not familiar with what Elohim City was and I was looking for a friends deer lease that bordered Elohim and was lost. I pulled in to the compound looking for some one to give me some directions. My truck had a Fort Chaffee base sticker on it and I happened to be wearing a Army logo sweat shirt. No one was around so I knocked on a trailer door and could feel people eyeballing me from behind the curtains on the trailers in the compound. I finally gave up and drove off to find the deer lease thinking, what a weird place. I called my friend to help get me to the deer lease and he said I was lucky they didn't panic and shoot me thinking it was a government raid.

Airplanes don't generally fall outa the sky. They glide.

True...

...which is why I never fly in a helicopter, regardless of the possibility of auto-rotation.

Those drop either way.

I cannot confirm that I've flown in a car before (technically "glided"). I can confirm that I've owned a WRX, and any proper WRX owner should try it at least once. I can confirm that were I able to confirm such an event, it would not have been the closest I came to dying in said car (which a friend nicknamed the Electric Blue Bomb of Death), but would've been the closest I ever came to dying in an airborne car.

I've investigated an autorotation "landing". They make swirlie marks on concrete and tend to bend stuff. BTW, the pilot made it, but the pilot's seat cushion was a total loss. RIP seat cushion, RIP...

That's not a glide, it's a ballistic arc.

Ive been airborne in a VW beetle bug, it was short lived.

But was he wearing brown pants?

Umm...
