why dont airplanes crash into the sun?

[The Sum of Awe]

You'd think they would. Airplanes are a very common way to travel nowadays, and out of all airplanes to ever take flight there never been ONE report of an airplane burning up or crashing into the sun

There have been planes that have crashed into the sun but the powers that be cover this up to keep the flying public from totally freaking. What do you think happened to that Malaysian flight that disappeared (supposedly) over the Indian Ocean?

Lmao.

Muh physics!

 

[Revoltingest]

The answer is obvious, based upon the few planes which made the
attempt (usually a drunken airline pilot or a suicidal N Korean airman).
They're vaporized, & sent out with the solar wind long before they ever
get near the surface.

Just above the clouds, near the Pearly Gates there is a fleet of airplanes. There is no longer any room in hell, because all the heathens filled it up, so the new plan is to put them on old planes like the 707s and send them out of the earth's gravitational field. From there they go to hell (now it's the sun) and burn. It takes a bit of extra energy but God is up for it.

Phht...airplanes. You're all being taken in. There is no such thing.
When you board a 'flying machine' you are gently put to sleep by gas delivered through the overhead air vents. Apart from spreading germs from first class back to the plebs, this is their only purpose.

You are then loaded onto trucks and driven to your destination, before being loaded onto another 'flying machine' kitted out the same as the original.

If you carefully check your environment before being sent to sleep, and then re-check on 'arrival', you will see how carefully the two have been matched!

This dovetails with the time-zone conspiracy. I suspect all this baloney about 'time-zones' is a way to make us all complicit in winding our watches forward and back, hiding the extra time it takes to truck us around the country.

I mean to say, given that measuring time is a human construct, it's pretty obvious that we could all just run off a single, global standard, if it was in the corporation's best interests to do so.

One word will demolish your argument:

OK, that was more like one & a half words.
So it is one & a half times as effective!

Actually, side story here, but I reckon that's okay in this thread.

My wife is a trained general nurse (though she works in mental health case mgt now). When we moved to New Zealand for my work about ten years ago, she had to wait a couple of months for her nursing registration to clear in NZ. So she did some semi-health jobs which didn't require registration, but did require health knowledge.

1) Promotion of Cialis via the phone. No, she wasn't a phone sex worker. But she worked on an advice line to GPs who wanted to know about side effects, etc. Not really relevant to here, but the focus of plenty of jokes at her expense over the years. Petty, right?

2) Advice line for spraying related to the Painted Apple Moth. The NZ government decided to spray pesticide over major towns to kill the painted apple moth, and had a helpline for people with questions. My wife had a script with answers for various concerns (basically, the FAQ off the website, but some people prefer to talk to humans).

Included gems such as -
Q : 'Is the spraying harmful to humans?'
A : 'No, it's perfectly safe. Our commitment to health and safety is so strong, in fact, that we are recommending all children and elderly people remain inside today, and schools will be closed to assist in this.'

Safe, huh? I'd be convinced by that...lol

They do. People think that the sun is way far off out in space where they can't reach. But didn't you hear about missing aeroplanes near the Bermuda Triangle? That thing sucks them up and release them near the sun in a manner that they crash into it.

I don't get it

 

[Quagmire]

Well duh: the sun's so big and bright you'd see it coming way before you crashed into it.

Unless it was night I mean.

 

[Revoltingest]

It would be foolish to fly near the Sun at nite....unless there's a full moon.

I'm sure the airlines have some sort of policies about this kind of stuff. Probably why we never hear about planes crashing into the sun.

Likely happens to Chinese & Russian commercial airliners,
but they keep it quiet.

Aliens. Why does no one ever admit that it's the aliens. Oh wait, now I kn
