On another flight, our thingy that comes down on landings wouldn't come down.  Landing gear? I don't know. But the plane had to land with it not completely functioning and scraped across the runway. They had firetrucks waiting but it ended up being no big deal.

Yes, landing gear.

 

Also, let me know whenever you're flying so I can...not fly.

 

 

Alright I will chime in.

 

This was 11 years ago and it was 2005. I had just graduated high school and as a gift we flew up to New York to go see the Hall of Fame, he grew up there so we would be staying with family most of the time. Couple days before leaving to Cooperstown I wanted to go to New York City to visit a LAN Gaming cafe and pick up mouse pad for a friend and I. After getting it and heading outside I couldn't find my dad. I finally saw him getting ready to cross the street and I yelled "Hey Dad, wait up!" I was crossing a busy New York City street without looking both ways, didn't know WTF I was thinking?? I soon realized this and when I turned to m left I saw a guy in an old Chrysler Van coming hard straight at me. I panicked and braced myself for the inevitable. The guy swerved hard right and just barely missed me. I ran over to the sidewalk and the guy stopped his car and was pretty pissed off but mostly shocked.

 

Suffice to say, I was shaken up. I literally thought I would die. My dad also yelled at me lol.

 

 

Years ago I was driving late at night, leaving South Beach on the way back to my apartment.  I was so tired I'm not sure my eyes were even open so I shouldn't have even been behind the wheel.  Anyhow I was pulling in to a Taco Bell that I would usually stop at for late night food.  It was closed.

The horror!

 

 

I was driving on SW 16th street near Coral Park High on my way to FIU. I had only been driving for like 2 months. A few days earlier, my friend's dad had told me that if I was first on a red light, I should count 5 seconds before moving forward after it turns green. I was first on the red light on 97th ave or something. For some reason, I thought of this at that moment and followed his instructions. A fucking minivan comes out of nowhere taking that light. It would've fucked up my car and maybe killed me.

Holy shit
I don't get it. Do you mean you sit at a fresh green light for five seconds? 

 

Not Mississippi's or anything, but a pause. I had a friend get into a car accident by just taking off, actually. He totaled his car.

In NY, if you don't go the split second it turns green they blast you with the horns
