If they were Americans they'd have their selfie-sticks out and their partners would be saying, "I don't like my smile, do it again, but higher"

@Derg which filter should we use? Valencia or X-Pro?

 

[Itchy]

Was it really a landing gear failure, or was it a landing failure?

I have no idea what those are.

I'm impressed. 238 people down the slide and no major injuries? That's pretty damn good.

Probably because there is no thousands to be made from a sprained ankle in Nepal

Anywhere in the US, there'd be a squad of attorneys parachuting in with neck braces to put on.

Shouldn't those pax be looking for instructions from an authority figure in a captain's uniform rather than walking meandering in different directions?

Just think of the madness if he were wearing something practical!

One look at the average Nepali standing next to the average American, and some "assuming a horse is a sphere" math regarding the relative kinetic energy of the two, might also be illuminating.

I'm in my 40's, I'm shocked that I'm even able to communicate with most of you guys! Ha!

Anyone else notice how many people brought their personal items/carry on's with them? I was under the impression that when taking to the slides a person might not want to be burdened by a heavy bag... but I guess I'm just nuts.

Well clearly the airplane crashed in the first place because the pilots forgot to shave this morning.

Cant leave your vodka, government papers, or caviar on board! That stuff is hard to get back.
