I’m surprised that no one is considering the possibility that it’s a ghost?

I’m surprised that no one is considering the possibility that it’s a ghost?
- labster 4y agoRight! Ghosts are a definite possibility. We should dispatch our bravest reality TV stars to find out what’s really going on on these flights.
- krapp 4y agoIt's not a ghost. Ghosts aren't real.
- gumby 4y agoYou only think this because the airlines normally suppress them.
- bombcar 4y agoGhosts go to heaven but that’s high in the sky. Planes fly higher and higher for better fuel efficiency and are starting to capture some of the lower ghosts. Boeing is suppressing this.
- MisterTea 4y agoLost souls on Boeing planes isn't too far fetched. Lord Xenu flew in all those thetans on rocket powered DC-8's which were originally made by McDonnell Douglas who merged with Boeing. Basically Snakes on a Plane but with souls and Tom Cruise.
- gumby 4y agoI love it when Ockham's razor can cut straight through the bullshit and leave us with the simplest answer, like the clear one you provided.
- travisjungroth 4y agoIf I ever write a script it will have this real life dialogue in it. “Do you believe in ghosts?” “No, do you?” “Yeah, a bit. Think about all the times people saw and heard ghosts. Every single one of those times was wrong? Seems unlikely.” “Do you believe in angels?” “No.” “Then what about all the times people saw an angel?” “Those were just ghosts.”

- xwdv 4y agoAn accidental time traveler traveling slightly out of alignment with their timeline would likely manifest as something we would describe as a ghost, for a brief moment.

- pwillia7 4y agoWhy not the alien soul crystals that enable flight trying to break free?
- gumby 4y agoI'm glad you brought that up because (no joke) nobody can actually explain how aerodynamic lift works, much less how a plane can fly upside down: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/no-one-can-explain-why-planes-stay-in-the-air/ https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/no-one-can-explai...
- Eleison23 4y agoThose crazy bumblebees
- PcChip 4y agoStick your hand out the car window doing 60, and tilt it back. That's how they stay up there!
- site-packages1 4y agoI think this just proves that it happens, not why it happens. Also the last flight I took proved that it happens.
- bombcar 4y agoPlanes fly because of climate change. Which causes us to need more climate change as we get more flights. Sad but true.
- tomcam 4y agopure science right there
- maxbond 4y agoMy understanding is that planes don't fly directly upside down, and they angle the wing slightly to make a kinda-sorta-airfoil. How helicopters can turn directly upside down, and fly that way[1], without reversing the direction of their props, that I don't get. (Thinking about it now, I think it turns from a helicopter to a hovercraft? Eg, this is a ground effect?)

- kube-system 4y agoWell, at least it wasn't snake noises.

- pid-1 4y agoImagine spending all your afterlife in comercial air travel... That's some cruel punishment.
- phendrenad2 4y agoGhosts on a Plane... starring Samuel L. Jackson
- ficklepickle 4y agoIt reminds me of a story I just heard about the allegedly haunted plane parts from the crash of EA 401. Obviously not the most probable explanation, but I found the story interesting. https://mysteriesrunsolved.com/2020/07/ghosts-of-flight-401.html https://mysteriesrunsolved.com/2020/07/ghosts-of-flight-401....
- mindcrime 4y agoJesus H. Christ, that brings back memories. When I was (much) younger, probably somewhere between 9-13 or thereabouts, I had a brief phase when I really in to "weird stuff." I spent a lot of time reading books about UFO's, ghosts, the Bermuda Triangle, the Philadelphia Experiment, "ancient aliens", the "Oak Island money pit", blah, etc. etc. And the whole Flight 401 thing either figured very prominently in at least one book I read, or it kept re-appearing or both, because I just recalled a whole bunch of profound feelings associated with that story. I remember being really freaked out by it at the time. Enough so that I probably wouldn't have wanted to get on an airplane had I had any reason to fly back then (I didn't). I'd like to say that even back then I mostly didn't really believe all that stuff, but I think maybe I kinda did, at least to a degree. Now I think it's all bollocks, and maybe that's one of the things I miss about being a kid... that sense of fascination with the mysterious and unknown and the sense of possibility that comes with allowing yourself to believe in the Bermuda Triangle, ghosts, yadda yadda.
- copperx 4y agoI'm with you on the last one, and I sometimes wonder whether religious people still have that sense of fascination with the unknown, or with what is possible. I would like to have that again, if only for a few moments.
