That’s correct. Safety, peace and calm is not the default state. It’s the hard-won exception.
And that has been forgotten by way too many.

Auto Today
Today, I automated in about 20 minutes something that the person in question assured me it was not possible to automate as it took him so long to do it all manually.
Twenty minutes.
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta.
No War
A few things I can definitively say were absolutely superior in every way in the 90s: the genders weren’t at fucking 24/7 war with one another, attraction was seen as completely natural (which it is), and all men were not viewed as default original sin rapists.
That all was much, much better.
Merkelized
Merkel destroyed Germany. Now it’s full of a bunch of feral third world rapists. Her legacy will be that destruction and she will never pay for it.

Lear
This is the best explanation for what happened to that Learjet 60 in Florida:
A terrible tragedy. It’s hard to tell in the video, but it looks like the horizontal stabilizer of the plane is indeed gone before impact. They were doomed inevitably in a plane that small the moment that stopped generating lift (as the commenter points out).
Nose Down
Crater footage of today's Learjet 60 crash near Greenacres, Florida.
The plane (likely) iced up suddenly, couldn’t deice. I listened to the cockpit audio. It’s harrowing. At the end, the pilot reported they were descending at 22,000 feet per minute (which is insane).
The pilot did nothing wrong. She was completely fucked over by weather conditions. A control surface likely stuck (due to ice) and caused the plane to nose down. There’s literally nothing you can do then.
There is no gore, but still somewhat disturbing. Here is a video of that plane hitting the ground at nearly Mach 1. (Normies probably should not listen to the cockpit audio.)
