- samtheprogram 5y agoMetaphorically. Clever as it came down into Yosemite via a plane falling out of the sky. Although, yes, it’s a bit of tongue-in-cheek clickbait.

Yes, it happened to be inside a crashing drug-running airplane as it fell, rather than precipitating from a cloud of water vapor, but that's a minor detail.
- awb 5y agoTo be fair, what happened doesn't meet the definition of "rain": https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/rain https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/rain The closest would be: "a heavy fall // a rain of arrows", but even that implies multiple things coming down over an area, not a single plane crashing. And all the weed was in close proximity to the plane, not like it was being dumped out as the plane flew overhead and spread out over a large area. It's semantics, but the headline definitely makes you think that a storm is raining down weed when that's not at all what happened.
