I have a morbid fascination with all things like this. I've read the Wikipedia pages and transcripts for most major airline disasters, space accidents, and the like.

Did you guys see the pictures attached to that story?
The engine is wrecked. The window smashed.

That’s my number one fear I think about every moment Im Sitting on a plane.

And I always hoped it was impossible. Yet here we are.

Never getting on a plane again.

New fear. Plane crashing into me.
