      Maybe, maybe not. They’re kids, and didn’t do anything to deserve to die in one of the world’s most dangerous vehicles.

      Idk, I saw a piece about this on some tabloid news program earlier today, and they just kept talking about how these kids died horribly, and almost seemed to relish in it.

      There was was an unsettling glee to which they showed off the spectacle and it just made me feel sick to my stomach.

        Stuff like that sells, it’s just news sites and companies tugging at people’s emotions to generate clicks or viewers.

        Wait til it happens to a poor kid and see how much that generates.

    man, I knew that shit was gonna be rich assholes. sucks for the crew and their families.

    99% of the time, the only innocent passengers to bite it in a helicopter crash are like medical evac/flight patients, and after seeing what those companies bill them for a flight… personally I’d rather die cooking to death in helicopter gas than get the bill for that shit.

    at least with a crash, the insurance would probably have to pay out enough so my funeral could be catered all you can eat/buffet style and like maybe we could license Kansas - Dust in the Wind to play while everybody is stuffing themselves with Mac n Cheese and ribs.

    NY Times workshopped the headline a bunch and eventually settled on “Tourists”

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
