I have a morbid fascination with all things like this. I've read the Wikipedia pages and transcripts for most major airline disasters, space accidents, and the like.

worthy of news, yet not news.



Ivanka Trump manufactures her shoes in China....where journalists were arrested and put in jail for simply trying to shed light on the plight of the workers.


Trade war with China? really? maybe start with your daughter fucker.

I know she has to be old but sad news about Barbara Bush. I would not be surprised if it's one of those situations where once one passes the spouse follows fairly quickly.

Did you guys see the pictures attached to that story?
The engine is wrecked. The window smashed.

That’s my number one fear I think about every moment Im Sitting on a plane.

And I always hoped it was impossible. Yet here we are.

Never getting on a plane again.

New fear. Plane crashing into me.
