Have you seen the picture? He's clearly not reaching for a phone/camera. You don't reach to grab something with a completely flattened palm and a dead eye star straight down the lens.

Have to agree with that, unless he has some sort of damaged nerve or something no one would reach for a phone like that.

Dolce et docorum est
A poem by Wilfred Owen describing the horrors of trench warfare in WW1
____________________________________________________________

Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of gas-shells dropping softly behind.
Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!—An ecstasy of fumbling
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time,
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime.—
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.
In all my dreams before my helpless sight
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.
If in some smothering dreams you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin,
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,—
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori.

Have you been watching The Village?

Did the response of the driver not seem a bit weird in that vid? Not so much as a "fuckin hell" when a plane crashes right in front of him (which even in Afghanistan, isn't that common). He seemed to be more bothered about the road being blocked than anything else.

And still they won't let people have sleeper jets because you might not be able to get out in a crash.

I've been flying my entire life and have been in some weird shit in all kinds of planes 4 seaters to 777's. It's my firm belief that when a plane goes in to the ground nobody can get out and the most probable outcome is that everyone dies.. People who survive crashes of that magnitude are so extra-ordinarily lucky (or unlucky, all things considered) it simply beggars belief.

that was horrible. I was thinking "it's not moving very fast" then it just falls out of the sky with almost zero forward motion, as if it just stopped midair :/ Nasty. At least everyone died quickly, I suppose. No one walked away from that, I assume.

That's the first thing I thought. Everyone just seems to drive past and carry on like planes fall out of the sky on a daily basis.
