Hrr Hrr. I have a theory regarding a mysterious anomaly,
wherein mostly older people crash their cars into the windows of shops in a small shopping street.
Like nowhere else.
Thing is, this is exactly in the glide path of them on landing approach to Hamburg-Finkenwerder,
where they are already 300 to 200meters down, maybe even just 150.
There is nothing special to the street, just some small shops, banks, one-way, speed limited, some 'Metro-Station' nearby.
OTOH, I don't really get the 'scale' thing. Compare

all about the same place from different directions at similar altitude.
And both are nothing against an Antonov-225, also sound-wise :-)
- DSingularity 5y agoKind of hard to compare due to differences in the distance to the planes bring pictures.
- Symbiote 5y agoI can understanding that, a little. The one time I drove round a residential area of west London, near Heathrow, I was startled when I went round a corner and saw a 747 (or A380?) apparently at the end of the road at roughly eye level. (The road was on a slight incline.) This kind of thing, but I can't find a from-a-car type view: https://www.dreamstime.com/editorial-stock-image-emirates-airbus-plane-landing-over-houses-flying-low-approach-to-heathrow-airport-debate-expanding-heathrow-centred-image41847599 https://www.dreamstime.com/editorial-stock-image-emirates-ai...
- KineticLensman 5y agoA bit different but I had a disconcerting experience joining a motorway from a slip road. There was a Huey-style helicopter fuselage on the back of a lorry in lane 1 and for a second I thought I was driving alongside a flying helicopter
