Apparently a Korean Fighter released/dropped armed bombs on a residential area today. The footage is brutal.

Heard there was a disaster last night but didn’t look for the details until today. Damn.

Read a little about it this morning. Pilot error appears to be the cause right now. Wrong coordinates, overshot the training area.

That would be like dropping mortars at Range-44 on Fort Bragg and hitting Puppy Creek

Reportedly had an open door. Not really a big deal so long as you remember rule #1: Fly the airplane.

That is like part of training right? I didn’t train in a plane where a door opens, but when I type rates in a 172 that was in the lessons.

I learned to steer the 172 with the doors.

I went from a DA-40 to a 172, and I was like what kind of flying dump truck shit is this?

Aviate, navigate, communicate.

Pretty much what I thought would happen.

Yep.

I’m not a pilot and never played one on TV, but this dude does not exactly hold up to the calm/collected persona we expect to hear from them.

The ATC dude? Boss level 10
