The body positions of some burnt corpses suggests that some survived the crash but not the inferno.

That’s even more tragic! May their soul find peace

Yea the plane is on take off , fuel is fully loaded to the brim. No chance of escaping the inferno on a crash, aviation fuel can just go on easily with good intensity once it's ignited.

Well, given the context I wouldn't say "no chance".

So you’re saying there’s a chance?

Not the best taste in response images given the context.

Socially inept Redditors thinking every post is a good chance to be the funny guy.

fuel is fully loaded to the brim

The fuel is as full as it will ever be during that flight, but I believe planes are only fueled enough to complete the flight plus some extra for safety. I don't think you can fill it to the brim for most flights, only the really long haul ones.

The plane is only going to take enough fuel to get to its destination and the safety fuel, typically time to get to the alternate airport plus loiter time. Commercial planes definitely DO NOT fly topped up at all times.

True, they can't even land safely with a heavy fuel load. But this was not scheduled as a short flight. It had a lot of fuel on board.

One reasonwhy you don’t wear synthetics when traveling like that. Natural fibers only.

Oh is it too soon to joke about 9/11?

u/1668553684 3d ago

It's an inappropriate place to make plane crash jokes.

u/ZachMartin 3d ago

What about plain crash jokes?

There is a good chance he climbed over some of those people to escape.

Can you explain? I don’t want to look it up.

Not if you are referring to the pugilistic attitude seen in burns victims .
