Re: Men Falling From Jets in Kabul Trying To Flee Taliban
I'm thinking that, because of an abysmal lack of proper education, they obviously had no comprehension of post-takeoff flight characteristics and speed—which are abstract and cannot be inferred without either experiencing it prima facie, or by possessing a solid foundation in physics and aviation vehicle propulsion. So it's not that they are that stupid. It's just that they had no basis upon which to extrapolate what would happen to a body attached to these huge transport planes beyond takeoff, since they only saw them either landing or taking off—when speeds are relatively low by comparison, and the large superstructure of the airship gave the naked eye the impression they were traveling at a much slower speed than they really were. They literally must have thought that the cargo plane was akin to a flying train of sorts, and they probably never doubted, in their mind, that it would be possible to hang on to the outside fuselage, without falling off. They had no idea. |

Re: Men Falling From Jets in Kabul Trying To Flee Taliban
Probably a piece of cake compared to what's in store for them. The thing is-the US is just going to fund them with arms and money and supplies (not that they will get much benefit of it really) just no more soldiers-but a time warp back to beginning. What a waste of everything.

They rather take the unlikely chance they would survive grabbing onto a flying plane than live under Taliban rule. Imagine how bad it is. These men are all teens or early twenties and have known only shit and death all their lives.

I must say... Indian suspensions are truly world-class.  |

Re: Men Falling From Jets in Kabul Trying To Flee Taliban
The real question is, are the suspensions really world class, or are Indians just really really light?  |

Re: Men Falling From Jets in Kabul Trying To Flee Taliban
Brother, your post put a smile on my face:) They are indeed, very slender, which is not what can be said about the body-positive mannequins I've seen at Target—which could easily break that truck in two, LMAO. Frankly, there should be a class action lawsuit against all companies that encourage people to remain obese. In any case, speaking of freight... the Left cares nothing for vulnerable people, they just want to take your money—only to rejoice in your downfall and ultimate demise. A few of those men in the truck had generous smiles, they seem like very nice people... it is sad that they don't have decent public transportation there.. |
