      Pretty sure they usually are. Training usually has a “hard deck” that they’re supposed to treat as the ground, and if they go past it they “die”. I wonder if this pilot blacked out mid maneuver

        “die” is in quotes to indicate a figurative training/practice/simulation (read fake or test) death. –posting for anyone else who don’t think too good (obvs me) and may need clarity Thank you for the explanation

    Yet another reason not to do airshows. Massive pollution, noise pollution, and waste of resources just for nationalist clout.

    Where the fuck is the warning? Where’s the NSFW tag or blur? I didn’t want to watch a video a person literally fucking dying. This is entertaining to you people? What the actual FUCK is wrong with this society. Fucking gross and messed up.

      I mean, it’s not like you see much.

      If you watch a video of the earth from orbit, you’re also watching millions of people die.

        Eh, I don’t think governments should buy them anymore, maybe this was just a kill switch test? Who knows. Clearly not a safe bet any longer.
