5 Terrifying Photos of Jets

We've all heard this before. Flying is considered to be one of the safest modes of travel. That's why you went and bought those tickets to Greenland (of all places). But, after seeing these photos, you might just regret having bought them.

Now, I'm not afraid of flying or anything, but that is some scary shit. That is an actual tornado in pursuit of a jet. What boggles my mind is that in those weather conditions, the plane was still allowed to take off. Who the hell is in charge at that airport? 

#2. Feeling a Little Tipsy

"And, if you look to your right, you can see imminent death and suffering." 

Folks, this is what I've been campaigning about for years. We cannot keep allowing our jets to drink while flying. They always take too many jello shots and then can't land a straight line. Vote Axel Frets for President. I'll put an end to drunk jets.

A bird did that. A freaking bird. I mean, I understand physics. Colliding at high velocities packs a serious punch. But, it actually managed to breach the hull! That can't be right. My hunch is that they actually ran into Fatman the Human Flying Saucer. 

#4. Move B**ch, Get Out the Way!

"And if you look to your right, you have precisely three seconds to shit your pants."

The experts say that it's more dangerous to take-off and land than it is to actually fly. I can see what they mean now. Here, we have a Russian jet casually strolling to its take off strip while also casually getting in the way of a jet readying to land. It's a good way to scare the passengers. Keep them in line. 

#5. Bullseye!

"Did I get him? I think I got him."

That's it. I'm almost certain now that the runway is the most dangerous place on Earth. If you look closely at the super hi-res image, you'll see that the white plane hit the red plane's cabin. I don't know if the pilot made it. I just wish that planes could already be in the air and have teleporters to beam us up. I'll take being hit by Fatman the Human Flying Saucer any day over being hit by a multi-ton aircraft.
