Posted July 4, 20168 yr On a flight one time, we were coming in too fast on the landing. The pilot quickly aborted the landing and went straight up basically to get back up to a normal altitude before trying again. Everyone on-board looked pretty freaked out. You?

You? judging by today, I wouldn't mind if you perished to be honest.
July 4, 20168 yr I literally almost killed someone once... Driving on the left lane and a guy on a motorcycle was in the center lane preparing to make a left turn across my lane. As he was braking to wait for me to drive past him I guess he lost control of the bike and his reaction was to turn the bike to his right, away from the lane I was driving through, but when he turned the bike as abruptly as he did he fell backwards off the bike towards the lane I was in and it was just too soon for me to even brake and I basically just braced myself for what was about to happen. My tire literally missed his head by inches. I shit myself in shock. My parents were following in the car behind me and they swore I was about to run him over as well. Scary.
July 4, 20168 yr judging by today, I wouldn't mind if you perished to be honest. Regardless of your disputes, this was entirely uncalled for, Vince.
July 4, 20168 yr Regardless of your disputes, this was entirely uncalled for, Vince. he and squall think the same of me I'm sure, so its whatever.
July 4, 20168 yr he and squall think the same of me I'm sure, so its whatever. So you're going to lower yourself to wishing someone would have died? It's not like he threatened your family or anything.

This isn't a near death experience in reality. It's called a go around. They're common. Coming in too fast, inability to get flight to level (perhaps at risk of a tail or wing strike), or other factors will cause a pilot to use his disgression and do a go around. I've been on a flight that had a go around, and was relieved (so I don't sound like a conceited asshole, I am an aerospace engineer and I get reverse fears of flying due to knowing more than I care to -- things that don't scare you will scare me and vice versa).

Well I thought I was going to die even if I wasn't going to!
July 5, 20168 yr One time when I was like 12, I was riding the back of my friend's bike on his pegs and some guy drove right by is and (I didn't see t) supposedly my friend waved at him. He flicked us off, and so I screamed at him "don't flick my friend off, fuck you!" He slammed on his breaks and floored his car in reverse and pulled out a gun. Didn't point it at me but just flashed it at us. My friend ran and pissed his pants (legitimately) and I just stood there like a deer in headlights. He was a real tough guy lol.
July 5, 20168 yr Go on ... There's nothing to go on about. We came into land at JFK and I got nervous that the pilot couldn't seem to get the flight leveled. I swore he was going to strike a wing or engine on the runway, and he roared up the engines and I felt both relieved and justified.
July 5, 20168 yr Long story short, pilots know what they're doing. Pilots are only the first episode, nobody knows what they're doing yet.
July 5, 20168 yr Probably your best post. Ever. Here. Have a beer. Oh wait... I'll take it and donate it to a homeless man.
July 5, 20168 yr Author Probably your best post. Ever. Here. Have a beer. Oh wait... And it only took him 40,010 posts to get there
July 5, 20168 yr And it only took him 40,010 posts to get there Some of us are late bloomers. But you know all about that.

This also happened to me once. Were we on the same flight, Admin? Is it kismet? (Or, kiss me, at least?)
