    Plane Crash in Afghanistan

    Happened yesterday:
    http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/29/world/...sh/?hpt=wo_bn4

    Then the video was published:


    Apparently the working theory is that the cargo shifted and stalled the plane.

    What pisses me off is that the media is not covering this at all, but hell the Kardashians are top news for today...

    That's scary to watch

    I am puzzled by the driver's lack of any real response though. Most people would have been saying oh shit! oh shit! or something along those lines before it hit... and then something similar after it hit.

    you have to understand first that he's in Afghanistan.....it's probably the 10th plane crash he's seen and secondly he can't figure out how to set the correct date stamp on his dash cam so he's probably not the brightest bulb on the tree.

    I noticed the date in that footage and was wondering if it actually did just happen. I'd have a little adrenaline going if I saw that happen right in front of me.

    What a shitty feeling that has to be, stuck in that plane that you can eject from and knowing you are going to crash.

    That is a horrible thing to watch.

    Our local news is all about the wildfires right now.

    It's just disturbing watching that thing turn like that in mid air. Very eerie.

    Do you mean the average afghany citizen or what? Most of those people are just poor farmers who have never hurt anyone The minority of radicals amongst them is another story.

    Or maybe he meant Afghan hounds. I do admit I'm not a fan of their appearance.
