[explodingcrayon]

people were being incredibly, overwhelmingly nice to me on bsky about my art and it got me so flustered and shy and warm in my heart so I IMMEDIATELY knew something terrible was going to happen to balance it back out and lo and behold we sent in billing for my day job and they're fussing about it for i think, no joke, the sixth time this year so if I have a job come 2025 I would be genuinely shocked :') so at least the universe is predictable as always, thank you universe for balancing things out in my life

Y’all wanna know something kinda crazy that people tend to make fun of me for thinking?

Several years ago I was on a late night flight to Florida with my parents, and I decided to make a wish for 11:11. But just as I was about to make my wish I had an intrusive thought, and instead of making a wish that I actually wanted my brain instead thought “I wish the plane crashes!”

Now I’ve never fully believed in 11:11 wishes but I’ve always done them anyways for fun, but I still panicked because what if it came true for once?!?! So I quickly said to the universe (? idk) “no! I don’t actually want this plane to crash! I didn’t mean it!” And then I thought to myself “great, now a plane will crash.”

Thankfully nothing happened and we got to Florida safely.

Now, it’s the next night and we get back to our hotel room and my parents decide to turn on the news.

Imagine my shock and horror to see that a plane had crashed the day after we landed.

I, remembering the thoughts that were in my head the previous night, couldn’t help but think that I had somehow caused the crash because of my accidental wish. Like I wholeheartedly believed that I had accidentally killed people. And I fully believed that for a few years.

Now not really, but sometimes I have to stop and think about how fucked up of a coincidence that was.

The above is a humorous misdirection. "That airplane is headed right for" is a preceding phrase of disaster. It is an exclamation of shock that an airplane is about to crash into a mountainside or a building or some other structure which would result in the destruction of the plane, its passengers, and potentially those it hit. As an individual from the early twenty-first century reads the above, they will be mentally anticipating the end of the sentence, imagining some horror appropriate for the exclamation of despair and horror at the start.

When you reach the end of the sentence, one is left in confusion as an 'airport' is not an inappropriate location for an airplane. Indeed, is the intended destination. As such, there are two confusing explanations: either, the speaker is just messing with people as a form of humor, or, an airplane is going to crash into an airport, which would be ironic, and thus, also a form of humor.

Either way, the comedic intention is clear.

oh god that airplane is headed right for the airport

Harry Stonecipher’s name isn’t mentioned nearly enough considering a good chunk of the havoc wreaked upon Boeing’s corporate culture is his doing. Motherfucker called engineers “arrogant” and under his watch the corporate culture became more similar to the financial garbage fire that was McDonnell-Douglas. His own mentor (iirc) regretted putting him in such a position of power. That said, Harry Stonecipher isn’t the only responsible, and everyone who upholds this pathetic excuse for a safety culture has blood on their hands.
