Holy fuck

[Lavabug]

I worked up some hand sweat when that thing starts turning. Why the hell didn't the driver switch to reverse and floor that shit.

goddamn

[Mesarthim]

only in russia

[droidspawn]

[Mesarthim]

err, apparently it was Afghanistan. the RT logo made me assume it was Russia.

[Abzu]

cargo shift lifted the nose and stalled it. Fucking hell.





at backing up like ten feet.



But seriously... fucking hell.

[M.Bison]

The Taliban quickly claimed responsibility for the crash

Fuuuuuuuuuuck

[agony bagony]

the lack of audio makes it even more shocking

[FUKKET]

yeah, i just saw this on the 6pm news.

fucking crazy!

imagine driving & just seeing that in front of you.



Yeah, they said it was Afganland - nothing suspicious though

Why anyone would ever drive or fly in a war torn country is beyond me. Even getting around first class in some parts of China as recently as the gloryhole era was insane, based on some shit my father has told me.

Thanks for posting that explanationless article



Having been at #3, #10, #36, #54, #71, #84 and #94 in the past couple years I couldn't tell you what made one better than the other, let alone safer. On first glance neither could the article.

[droidspawn]

i've been at #56, #63, #71, #81, #97 and the fargo airport which isn't listed

[agony bagony]

11, 48, 63, 79, 84, 88



no idea what the criteria for this list is. also do not care even a little bit

[droidspawn]

how could i forgot #84. stranded overnight there

[agony bagony]

aah, good ole 84

Forgot to Add San Fransisco at #40, which was terrifying to fly into given its foggy oceanside location. At any rate it is kind of weird that a website wouldn't show any of their work for compiling or even linking to a list that big.

one of my good friends just got into med school @ the island of Saba and has to land at one of the most dangerous air strips in the world.

"According to eyewitness reports, the airplane attained a very steep nose-up attitude"

it looked like he was already at a pretty steep angle before it stalled

vertical take-off
