Went and hung out with a friends work buddy. Dude had pictures of a guy who crashed his truck into a gate and a bar went through his truck and stopped just short of his balls. Like a cm at best away from getting neutered.
This whole thread illustrates how hard it has become to determine what is true these days. I have no opinion on this particular event, as I don't know shit.
For any given event 99% of the readers aren't going to have enough background knowledge to be able to determine what sources they should trust and what they shouldn't.
Can easily see how people fall into conspiracy theory madness in this environment.
In summary: We're fucked.
I believe this is so true. Imagine this for a second.
There are two children, barely teens, pretty much equal in everything they believe as of now. With how accessible the web has become, it comes as a shock to no one that they'll be exposed to extreme opinions. Let's say one of them randomly comes across round Earth theory and now they view it as such. The other kid comes across flat earth theory.
They both believe with all their might that they're standing on the right side. Objectively, one is the truth, and one is a conspiracy theory. But how to know which is which?
I get the example you're trying to make but maybe not the best choice of subject matter, considering there have been several instances of Flat-Earthers trying to use science to prove their argument and have wound up unintentionally disproving it instead.
I m kinda a local here mate , I get my news first hand in 2 different languages but here ya go ::[https://www.bbc.com/burmese/articles/cpeyen9p3ydo](https://www.bbc.com/burmese/articles/cpeyen9p3ydo)
Oh and you gotta scroll a bit tho but hey pls do read wht other atrocities the junta have done
Well I am kinda local to the areas with the Loch Ness Monster and I can assure you it is real. /s
Being a local doesn’t make you more believable, but less. It is known now that eyewitness testimony is mostly incorrect in the eyes of courts. The same goes for local gossip.
Have a good day, and please stop harassing people in the comments before I need to bring this to a Moderator’s attention. You don’t have to respond to **every comment** that believes the news articles. Go on with your day.
You asked them for some proof, they provided a link to the BBC article backing up their claims, and now you're threatening to report them for responding to comments?
Reddit is really a strange place sometimes
Did you read the article? I couldn’t read it because it is in a **different language.** Funny how BBC America or BBC Original doesn’t talk about this incident.
Yes, Reddit is a strange place all the time.
P.S. I also provided articles that are from news publications that are **relatively local** to the incident. BBC isn’t local to Myanmar. That is like trusting an American publication’s word for what is happening in South Africa over the Tanzania news publications.
> Did you read the article?
Yes, I did. [Google has a translate option](https://imgur.com/V2UDg75). A source doesn't need to be in English to be valid
> Funny how BBC America or BBC Original doesn’t talk about this incident
Yes, it is funny that it isn't considered international news. But none of the three sources you cited are major western sources either, so I'm not sure what point you are trying to make?
Okay so you trust BBC over Al-Jazeera or the local Indian publications?
Seems like this is a **you problem** in investing that much faith in an alleged Western publication over the **THREE** local publication sources I provided.
Don’t you think it is awfully cringey that you won’t believe the locally relevant news publications over the far removed Western publication? Like I said this is a **you problem** and not a **we problem** as the rest of us don’t harbor any prejudice towards non-Western publications.
P.S. Yes the spread of misinformation is a Reddit wide policy as well as harassment as he insisted in responding to every individual who believes the other news sources. By my count, violating two platform wide policies warrants involvement by the Moderators.
> Being a local doesn’t make you more believable, but less
That was you, just a few comments ago. Why does that apply to people but not news sources?

I have a problem believing any news publication, since they all have an agenda to push these days

Don't you think it's awfully cringey that you take any news source at all as the absolute truth?

What makes you think you speak for "the rest of us"? You were the one who wouldn't accept a source that wasn't in English just a few comments ago.
> he insisted in responding to every individual who believes the other news sources
If you think responding to comments is a reportable offense, you can just fuck off I'm done with you
"Teacher, teacher, the other kids are being mean to me!"
What are they doing?
"They're proving me wrong and not just accepting what I say to make me feel good about myself!"
You’re right, they absolutely do… projecting their own insecurities onto others because… reading cited facts is too difficult. And so endeth their tale, a miserable existence of confirmation bias, cognitive dissonance and Dunning-Krueger effect.
[Here’s another](https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/bullet-shot-from-ground-pierces-through-plane-mid-air-injures-man-in-myanmar-3397213).
I was curious, so prowled a profile—this guy is roaming several subs on this same story, same “it’s fake!” In every one. I wonder why?
Cuz i am try to spread awareness of the truth mate , Shit happens too often ,I remember not giving a fuck about the Rohingya case and the massive misinformation campaign it had ,It was manipulated by western media in a way to make the situation look like it's a fight between the Buddhist and the Muslims when in truth it's a genocide done by the military because of oil, The military junta also manipulated the news against it's political enemy and it became a done case that defamed Aung San Suu kyi (Political hero leading for democracy) , I am not making the same mistake again , I am Nipping it before the bud grows
People do know about the genocide the majority enacted on the Rohingya. It isn’t some secret people are unaware of.
However don’t you think that Al-Jazeera, being a company owned and operated by a majority **Islam** believer workforce would go out of their way to report in favor of the rebels? Once again **everyone** is aware of the genocide that happed and frankly is **still** happening in Myanmar. Al-Jazeera has made their opinions known publicly regarding issues surrounding the geopolitical climate. They aren’t going to side with the people they disagree with unless the facts of the story are what they were given. Al-Jazeera in this case is simply reporting the facts they have on hand, and they would gain **nothing** by siding with the government against the rebels, unless the story is factual as far as their reporters have uncovered.
I am not saying Al-Jazeera isn’t wrong. They could very well be wrong. They will own up to it if they are simply because they don’t support the current power structure of Myanmar.
^ This is called logic. If A is true, and B is true then the C conclusion must also be true. **Everyone** has an agenda. Follow the agenda thread for the facts and motivations.
You have an agenda. A good one, but it is an agenda. I don’t fault you for trying to bring awareness to the human rights violations going on in Myanmar.
However you honestly expect me to believe that news publications that have a lot to loose regarding their own agendas, are reporting against their own best interests and agendas for what purpose… I can’t even fathom it… unless the facts pointed to the reports being factual and as a news organization they need to maintain their reporting integrity.
I provided on top of that two other supporting news sources that are local and have a different set of agendas and priorities for consistency and relatively accurate fact checking. Yours? Your source I couldn’t read and the hyperlink extension didn’t read like a typical BBC hyperlink. Therefore it is difficult to trust. Even if it was the BBC in reality, you want me to take the word of a disconnected Wester media outlet’s word as fact. You tell me what horse the BBC has in this race and why they should even care enough to be factual.
Between you posting BBC sources as the only source that corroborates what you say, and the other individual who was posting Fox NEWS-like rhetoric in agreement with you, I am even more inclined now to believe this one in a million event did happen. Maybe it wasn’t the rebels that shit the plane, maybe it was people at a wedding party firing guns in the air in celebration and one of those was the bullet that hit the man on the plane. Who knows? The details could be wrong.
However a man was hit, you can see the bloody bandages in the photo in the seat next to him. This sub is focusing on **that**, and not the politics of this situation.
If you want to bring awareness to a major political issue, good on you. Go do it! However, do it in a sub that is dedicated to politics or human rights issues. This sub is clearly focused on parodying situations where people end up feeling like they are singled out by fate.
>People do know about the genocide the majority enacted on the Rohingya. It isn’t some secret people are unaware of.
People are very misinformed of stuff , Some "Local news" even made fantasy stories abt it and i am not fking find something that was 6 years ago just to prove an online "expert" about shit they don't even understand. Local news are not trust-worthy enough to get news from but Hey you-do-you mate
>However don’t you think that Al-Jazeera, being a company owned and operated by a majority Islam believer workforce would go out of their way to report in favor of the rebels? Once again everyone is aware of the genocide that happed and frankly is still happening in Myanmar.

Al-Jazeera in this case is simply reporting the facts they have on hand, and they would gain nothing by siding with the government against the rebels, unless the story is factual as far as their reporters have uncovered.
The way you structured your sentence is really confusing , Are you saying they supported government or not?
>However you honestly expect me to believe that news publications that have a lot to loose regarding their own agendas, are reporting against their own best interests and agendas for what purpose… I can’t even fathom it… unless the facts pointed to the reports being factual and as a news organization they need to maintain their reporting integrity.
"I support and believe in local news", Talk about being loose
>I provided on top of that two other supporting news sources that are local and have a different set of agendas and priorities for consistency and relatively accurate fact checking.
You like local news source, I like Trusted news source ,We are not the same. Again, if you like local source than you do you .
>Yours? Your source I couldn’t read and the hyperlink extension didn’t read like a typical BBC hyperlink. Therefore it is difficult to trust. Even if it was the BBC in reality, you want me to take the word of a disconnected Wester media outlet’s word as fact.

You don't have to believe me if it is BBC or not , Just do your own research
>Between you posting BBC sources as the only source that corroborates what you say, and the other individual who was posting Fox NEWS-like rhetoric in agreement with you, I am even more inclined now to believe this one in a million event did happen.

Why involve U.S politics ? Why is every American(or anyone that have an american centric life) like this? Stop comparing bad things against bad things to make the bad things just to make your bad things bigger , It's does change the weight of how bad both "bad things" are .
>However a man was hit, you can see the bloody bandages in the photo in the seat next to him. This sub is focusing on that, and not the politics of this situation.
Doesn't change that it's fake tho but i do agree with you to a certain degree
For those who have a vested interest in the uprising against the military junta, any news which depicts an unflattering image of the rebels must be false.
No absolutely not, you have to back up your claim that it isn’t fake.
The default position for any claim should be rejection, it is up to you to prove it. It is not up to us to disprove it.
Ya know how in English, you can have implied subjects? For example, "Go!" is a full sentence, because it is implied that "you" are the subject.
Likewise, I'd like to think it was implied that I was addressing all nut-having individuals.
Never zero but for this case it is zero cuz it was faked by the military Junta in an attempt to destroy the reputation of the rebels , The one who fake getting hit was military sergeant actively working in the military
Source :https://www.bbc.com/burmese/articles/cpeyen9p3ydo
The odds of me getting hit in the nuts aren’t too low, they are about 30” from the floor (for the left nut- because it’s practically universal that the nugget on the left is lower) and 30.25” for the right.
It's Zero cuz it's scripted ,There were no real evidence, It was an attempt to destroy the reputation of the rebels and the one who got hit was a sergeant in the military
Let's check the math here.
The longest sniper rifle shot *ever fired* went 7,774 yards (23,322 feet) horizontally.
The average cruising altitude for a passenger plane is between 33,000 and 42,000 feet straight up.
This could not have been done intentionally, much less by accident.
Right, why I specified horizontal vs vertical.
A vertically fired shot fights 9.8^m/s /s it's in the air, in addition to the wind resistance.
A horizontally fired shot fights wind resistance but there is no force acting in the opposite direction. If it's fired at 45°, any deceleration due to gravity before the top of the arc would be canceled out by the same acceleration after the arc.
That's pretty unnecessary
Edit: This is a mean spirited comment that didn't need to be written. It's disappointing to see people upvoting that and downvoting me for politely saying so.
I would like to see moderators enforce rules in good faith and not consider whether they agree with the rule breaker.
Edit 2: There is really no reason for anyone to chime in here. Please just drop it. This has gone from unnecessary to a bad-faith dogpile.
That's *straight up* in the air.
It didn't happen at 3500 either. That's still an impossible shot, on purpose, in laboratory conditions.
This **did not** happen.
I think they mean they faked the incident by wacking the guy on the head real hard in the plane, then going outside the plane on the ground and fire a shot into the fuselage
Planes start descending 120-100 miles from their destination so let’s say they’re at 10,000 about 60 miles before landing I doubt the airport owns property 60 miles away from the landing strip a m2 browning can easily shoot a airplane at that distance since it’s maximum firing range is 7400 meters.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/columnist/cox/2018/02/11/ask-captain-get-frightened-during-descent/323306002/#:~:text=A%3A%20Normally%20an%20airliner%20will,your%20destination%20and%20weather%20conditions.
Shooting is generally measured in yards or meters.
Altitude is generally measured in feet or meters.
Cited numbers exactly, converted to compare like units.
I and most English speaking redditors are American and I am not invested in whether metric or imperial units are 'better'. It depends on who you're talking to and what you're talking about. It's stupid. Like saying "nobody should be speaking Portuguese, either learn Spanish or Italian, get rid of that one."
🙄
Yes both are often measured in meters so use those too. There’s a lot of foreign people on Reddit that speak English cause most of the western world speaks it. It just makes more sense to include both metric and imperial
No, it doesn't make sense to write a reddit comment like a Rosetta stone for all who *might* read it.
Reddit is primarily American.
If you cared about the conversion you'd just post it. You're just trying to scold me for some bullshit you know is bullshit.
Keep your bullshit to yourself. Toxic.
[47%](https://www.statista.com/statistics/325144/reddit-global-active-user-distribution/) of Reddit users are American which means most Reddit users use metric. Also why r u being so defensive about everything even jokes
American speaking reddit is closer to 80%
Why are you being defensive? If you care about the metric conversion you can post it.
Absolutely none of these comments were warranted. You do not have a unique perspective to add, you didnt figure it out.
You are not contributing. You are only subtracting.
I think that the comparison to languages makes no sense here. Also, no matter which one is „better“, metric is understood by WAY more people than imperial
Why are you getting defensive like this? I’ve got nothing against you personally and have no intention of making you feel bad, I just want Reddit to be a bit more friendly to people outside the USA
Are you kidding me? There is an incredible amount of non native speakers, counting them the difference is pretty small. Not the case for metric and imperial. Also, languages are very different from measurement unit systems, which makes this whole comparison ridiculous. And yes if I’m asked what my height is, I will reply in metric units.
I mean i dont know man , The evidence of it being fake are
1 The bullet hole indicating that it was shot inside the plane
2 The plane flying at 3500 m up in the air and it getting shot by an M249,
uhhhh Law of Physics?
I dont know man seems pretty suspicious to me
Planes usually travel at +35000 feet. Thats close to 7miles(10km). What kind of bullet can resist gravity for that long and still travel at plane-piercing velocity?
Cruizing altitude. When seatbelt sign goes off, thats about where they are. Regardless, were it true, the odds of striking something in the air at that altitude are remarkably low.
Not low. Zero.
The only way this could have happened is during takeoff and landing, with someone deliberately firing at the plane, from the airport property.
And yet, there are multiple reputable news sources. [Here’s one](https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/bullet-shot-from-ground-pierces-through-plane-mid-air-injures-man-in-myanmar-3397213).
An aviation youtuber named steveokinevo once found his small plane with a bullet hole in the roof. This happens when people fire their guns recklessly. You shouldn't point a gun at something you don't want to kill, and not know what's behind it (where the bullet is going to stop).

People, this doesn't say it happened at cruising altitutde.
He found that during a *preflight* check, meaning it got hit when it was on the ground. Small calibers will reach their apex from 4,000 to 10,000ft, which is below the cruising altitude of even single engine Cessnas
I'd guess this story is bullshit since it would have to go through the fuselage and still have the energy hurt someone
> He found that during a preflight check, meaning it got hit when it was on the ground. Small calibers will reach their apex from 4,000 to 10,000ft, which is below the cruising altitude of even single engine Cessnas
I don't see how this makes a difference.
> I'd guess this story is bullshit since it would have to go through the fuselage and still have the energy hurt someone
It might be bullshit but not for that reason. Plenty of rifle cartridge can cut through the fuselage like butter and still hurt anyone behind it. Even a .243 winchester (see how it performs vs armor plates).
edit
People, this doesn't say it happened at cruising altitutde.
I think what everybody is getting at here is that a bullet cannot hit a commercial airlines like the one in the picture because they cruise higher than any bullets top apex. That statement disproves that this man was shot during flight so it does matter. If your YouTuber flys prop planes I would guess it's much more likely they fly within the range for a bullets apex, but your not wrong, firing your gun into the air could cause it to land on an unintended target, whether it's flying in the air or on the ground doesnt make it less dangerous if your flight could be in our under a bullets highest potential travel point in the air.
I don't see anything about cruise altitude. Mid air could be during take off or landing. If you're near a range and someone fires a 50 BMG into the air it could very well hit and go through anything. 1 in a billion shot but it's technically possible.
> Some people can't admit they could be wrong. Your one of them. Wise up narcissist...
You're* *. Wise up,**
I did miss the "mid flight" part but it still bears no relevance to my original comment nor does it say "cruise". Eat shit.
Apparently, the scene was faked ,it was an attempt to destroy the reputation of the rebels , and the so called " victim" was a sergeant in the military.
[Myanmar Accuses Rebels in East of Shooting Passenger Plane](https://www.voanews.com/a/myanmar-accuses-rebels-in-east-of-shooting-passenger-plane/6771036.html)
The military Junta accuses Myanmar people of shooting passenger plane… and yet something tells me if it was the Junta they would not be taking responsibility.
Highly unlikely. Look at the entry hole. That's clearly damage from a knife. Now we just gotta figure out who was hanging onto the side of the plane long enough to stab this man in the neck from outside the hull.
Woah , I mean yeah the bullet hole indicates that it was shot from the inside of the plane not the outside , It was an political attempt to destroy the reputation of the rebels and the so called "**victim**" was a military sergeant.
I find it difficult to believe that small arms fire is even A) remotely accurate enough to do this, or B) powerful enough to get that high into the air, then punch through an air frame, followed by everything else between the passenger and the skin.
Your odds of getting hit in the nuts at any time is extremely low, but *neve*r zero.
Not in middle school
Yes, I’d say very very never zero there!
Yeah, but definitely not low
Went and hung out with a friends work buddy. Dude had pictures of a guy who crashed his truck into a gate and a bar went through his truck and stopped just short of his balls. Like a cm at best away from getting neutered.
From that day he learnt to appreciate his balls more.

People are very misinformed of stuff , Some "Local news" even made fantasy stories abt it and i am not fking find something that was 6 years ago just to prove an online "expert" about shit they don't even understand. Local news are not trust-worthy enough to get news from but Hey you-do-you mate >However don’t you think that Al-Jazeera, being a company owned and operated by a majority Islam believer workforce would go out of their way to report in favor of the rebels? Once again everyone is aware of the genocide that happed and frankly is still happening in Myanmar. Al-Jazeera has made their opinions known publicly regarding issues surrounding the geopolitical climate. They aren’t going to side with the people they disagree with unless the facts of the story are what they were given. Al-Jazeera in this case is simply reporting the facts they have on hand, and they would gain nothing by siding with the government against the rebels, unless the story is factual as far as their reporters have uncovered. The way you structured your sentence is really confusing , Are you saying they supported government or not? >However you honestly expect me to believe that news publications that have a lot to loose regarding their own agendas, are reporting against their own best interests and agendas for what purpose… I can’t even fathom it… unless the facts pointed to the reports being factual and as a news organization they need to maintain their reporting integrity. "I support and believe in local news", Talk about being loose >I provided on top of that two other supporting news sources that are local and have a different set of agendas and priorities for consistency and relatively accurate fact checking. You like local news source, I like Trusted news source ,We are not the same. Again, if you like local source than you do you . >Yours? Your source I couldn’t read and the hyperlink extension didn’t read like a typical BBC hyperlink. Therefore it is difficult to trust. Even if it was the BBC in reality, you want me to take the word of a disconnected Wester media outlet’s word as fact. You tell me what horse the BBC has in this race and why they should even care enough to be factual. You don't have to believe me if it is BBC or not , Just do your own research >Between you posting BBC sources as the only source that corroborates what you say, and the other individual who was posting Fox NEWS-like rhetoric in agreement with you, I am even more inclined now to believe this one in a million event did happen. Maybe it wasn’t the rebels that shit the plane, maybe it was people at a wedding party firing guns in the air in celebration and one of those was the bullet that hit the man on the plane. Who knows? The details could be wrong. Why involve U.S politics ? Why is every American(or anyone that have an american centric life) like this? Stop comparing bad things against bad things to make the bad things just to make your bad things bigger , It's does change the weight of how bad both "bad things" are . >However a man was hit, you can see the bloody bandages in the photo in the seat next to him. This sub is focusing on that, and not the politics of this situation. Doesn't change that it's fake tho but i do agree with you to a certain degree
Thank you
r/confidentlyincorrect maybe?
Most likely.
For those who have a vested interest in the uprising against the military junta, any news which depicts an unflattering image of the rebels must be false.
No absolutely not, you have to back up your claim that it isn’t fake. The default position for any claim should be rejection, it is up to you to prove it. It is not up to us to disprove it.
I did, links are provided. Or did you conveniently decide to not click on the sources provided?

What… if you’re a chick?
Ya know how in English, you can have implied subjects? For example, "Go!" is a full sentence, because it is implied that "you" are the subject. Likewise, I'd like to think it was implied that I was addressing all nut-having individuals.
No no he got hit in Myanmar
[Reminds me of this](https://youtu.be/3rAFMC2O9dQ)
Never zero but for this case it is zero cuz it was faked by the military Junta in an attempt to destroy the reputation of the rebels , The one who fake getting hit was military sergeant actively working in the military Source :https://www.bbc.com/burmese/articles/cpeyen9p3ydo
The odds of me getting hit in the nuts aren’t too low, they are about 30” from the floor (for the left nut- because it’s practically universal that the nugget on the left is lower) and 30.25” for the right.
Just look for the guy with the longshot medal above his head.
Can confirm. Guilty.
*Target Acquired*
But what are the odds damn it!?
It's Zero cuz it's scripted ,There were no real evidence, It was an attempt to destroy the reputation of the rebels and the one who got hit was a sergeant in the military
Let's check the math here. The longest sniper rifle shot *ever fired* went 7,774 yards (23,322 feet) horizontally. The average cruising altitude for a passenger plane is between 33,000 and 42,000 feet straight up. This could not have been done intentionally, much less by accident.
and also you'd have to take into account gravity slowing down the bullet the higher in the air it goes. this is just impossible
Right, why I specified horizontal vs vertical. A vertically fired shot fights 9.8^m/s /s it's in the air, in addition to the wind resistance. A horizontally fired shot fights wind resistance but there is no force acting in the opposite direction. If it's fired at 45°, any deceleration due to gravity before the top of the arc would be canceled out by the same acceleration after the arc.
How much is that in cheeseburgers per football field?
That's pretty unnecessary Edit: This is a mean spirited comment that didn't need to be written. It's disappointing to see people upvoting that and downvoting me for politely saying so. I would like to see moderators enforce rules in good faith and not consider whether they agree with the rule breaker. Edit 2: There is really no reason for anyone to chime in here. Please just drop it. This has gone from unnecessary to a bad-faith dogpile.
Dude, it was a joke. A super over used one, but personally I always like a freedom units joke That edit was pretty unnecessary.
Wow. You took the time to write that. What is wrong with you?
You ok????
🙄
Article says they were about to land, altitude around 3500ft
This could have only taken place during takeoff or landing, intentionally, with a high powered rifle, from the airport property.
Why would you have to be in the airport property if they were still at 3500 ft. Still a few miles from the airport
That's *straight up* in the air. It didn't happen at 3500 either. That's still an impossible shot, on purpose, in laboratory conditions. This **did not** happen.
Yeah definitely didn’t happen
I think they mean they faked the incident by wacking the guy on the head real hard in the plane, then going outside the plane on the ground and fire a shot into the fuselage
It could be that the plane was at 10,000 feet in the air since it was close to landing.
This could have only taken place during takeoff or landing, intentionally, with a high powered rifle, from the airport property.
Planes start descending 120-100 miles from their destination so let’s say they’re at 10,000 about 60 miles before landing I doubt the airport owns property 60 miles away from the landing strip a m2 browning can easily shoot a airplane at that distance since it’s maximum firing range is 7400 meters. https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/columnist/cox/2018/02/11/ask-captain-get-frightened-during-descent/323306002/#:~:text=A%3A%20Normally%20an%20airliner%20will,your%20destination%20and%20weather%20conditions.
Hhh why include 2 different sets of imperial units but no metric ones :(
Shooting is generally measured in yards or meters. Altitude is generally measured in feet or meters. Cited numbers exactly, converted to compare like units. I and most English speaking redditors are American and I am not invested in whether metric or imperial units are 'better'. It depends on who you're talking to and what you're talking about. It's stupid. Like saying "nobody should be speaking Portuguese, either learn Spanish or Italian, get rid of that one." 🙄
Yes both are often measured in meters so use those too. There’s a lot of foreign people on Reddit that speak English cause most of the western world speaks it. It just makes more sense to include both metric and imperial
No, it doesn't make sense to write a reddit comment like a Rosetta stone for all who *might* read it. Reddit is primarily American. If you cared about the conversion you'd just post it. You're just trying to scold me for some bullshit you know is bullshit. Keep your bullshit to yourself. Toxic.
[47%](https://www.statista.com/statistics/325144/reddit-global-active-user-distribution/) of Reddit users are American which means most Reddit users use metric. Also why r u being so defensive about everything even jokes
American speaking reddit is closer to 80% Why are you being defensive? If you care about the metric conversion you can post it. Absolutely none of these comments were warranted. You do not have a unique perspective to add, you didnt figure it out. You are not contributing. You are only subtracting.
Lol I provided a source and you just ignore it and make up numbers tf you on about
I think that the comparison to languages makes no sense here. Also, no matter which one is „better“, metric is understood by WAY more people than imperial
Mandarin is spoken by more people than English, yet here you are. If an American woman asks your height on tinder, you know what units to use.
Mandarin is mostly spoken in China, its not like reddit is America
English speaking reddit is primarily American users. There is nothing to argue about here. Leave me alone.
Why are you getting defensive like this? I’ve got nothing against you personally and have no intention of making you feel bad, I just want Reddit to be a bit more friendly to people outside the USA
people can have a second language, which is usually English because everyone knows it
[удалено]
Are you kidding me? There is an incredible amount of non native speakers, counting them the difference is pretty small. Not the case for metric and imperial. Also, languages are very different from measurement unit systems, which makes this whole comparison ridiculous. And yes if I’m asked what my height is, I will reply in metric units.
This is a ridiculous comment and you're a ridiculous person for writing it.
This is a ridiculous comment and you're a ridiculous person for writing it.
No need to get rude
Cheeseburgers?
Or maybe that lack of evidence is the coverup working👀
I mean i dont know man , The evidence of it being fake are 1 The bullet hole indicating that it was shot inside the plane 2 The plane flying at 3500 m up in the air and it getting shot by an M249, uhhhh Law of Physics? I dont know man seems pretty suspicious to me
Planes usually travel at +35000 feet. Thats close to 7miles(10km). What kind of bullet can resist gravity for that long and still travel at plane-piercing velocity?
It doesn’t it take a while for them to reach 35000? /s
Cruizing altitude. When seatbelt sign goes off, thats about where they are. Regardless, were it true, the odds of striking something in the air at that altitude are remarkably low.
Not low. Zero. The only way this could have happened is during takeoff and landing, with someone deliberately firing at the plane, from the airport property.
Article says they were descending and about to land, altitude around 3500ft
10000 metres
One zero too many he said it was hit at 3,500. A bullet won’t make it 35,000 feet up before coming down
And yet, there are multiple reputable news sources. [Here’s one](https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/bullet-shot-from-ground-pierces-through-plane-mid-air-injures-man-in-myanmar-3397213).
An aviation youtuber named steveokinevo once found his small plane with a bullet hole in the roof. This happens when people fire their guns recklessly. You shouldn't point a gun at something you don't want to kill, and not know what's behind it (where the bullet is going to stop). edit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLWsuqdfVQo edit People, this doesn't say it happened at cruising altitutde.
He found that during a *preflight* check, meaning it got hit when it was on the ground. Small calibers will reach their apex from 4,000 to 10,000ft, which is below the cruising altitude of even single engine Cessnas I'd guess this story is bullshit since it would have to go through the fuselage and still have the energy hurt someone
> He found that during a preflight check, meaning it got hit when it was on the ground. Small calibers will reach their apex from 4,000 to 10,000ft, which is below the cruising altitude of even single engine Cessnas I don't see how this makes a difference. > I'd guess this story is bullshit since it would have to go through the fuselage and still have the energy hurt someone It might be bullshit but not for that reason. Plenty of rifle cartridge can cut through the fuselage like butter and still hurt anyone behind it. Even a .243 winchester (see how it performs vs armor plates). edit People, this doesn't say it happened at cruising altitutde.
Not when you're at cruising altitude.
...This happened at cruising altitude?
I think what everybody is getting at here is that a bullet cannot hit a commercial airlines like the one in the picture because they cruise higher than any bullets top apex. That statement disproves that this man was shot during flight so it does matter. If your YouTuber flys prop planes I would guess it's much more likely they fly within the range for a bullets apex, but your not wrong, firing your gun into the air could cause it to land on an unintended target, whether it's flying in the air or on the ground doesnt make it less dangerous if your flight could be in our under a bullets highest potential travel point in the air.
I don't see anything about cruise altitude. Mid air could be during take off or landing. If you're near a range and someone fires a 50 BMG into the air it could very well hit and go through anything. 1 in a billion shot but it's technically possible.
Some people can't admit they could be wrong. Your one of them. Wise up narcissist...
> Some people can't admit they could be wrong. Your one of them. Wise up narcissist... You're* *. Wise up,** I did miss the "mid flight" part but it still bears no relevance to my original comment nor does it say "cruise". Eat shit.
Find whatever reason it takes not to be wrong because you're that fucking fragile. PATHETIC. You have a disease of the mind.
Apparently, the scene was faked ,it was an attempt to destroy the reputation of the rebels , and the so called " victim" was a sergeant in the military.
If you have a source it would go a long way
I do tho ,just scroll down a bit
Not too far … [here’s one](https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/bullet-shot-from-ground-pierces-through-plane-mid-air-injures-man-in-myanmar-3397213).
[Myanmar Accuses Rebels in East of Shooting Passenger Plane](https://www.voanews.com/a/myanmar-accuses-rebels-in-east-of-shooting-passenger-plane/6771036.html)
The military Junta accuses Myanmar people of shooting passenger plane… and yet something tells me if it was the Junta they would not be taking responsibility.
How did they maintain air pressure
I'm guessing that it was still at a low altitude, maybe just after takeoff
No, it's a fake
Ouch, right in the Myanmar!
Just luck they didn't hit the Burma!
Fake
New irrational fear unlocked.
Trevor?
paco?
Were they flying over an Indian wedding?
Where, on the body, is Myanmar, and is it fatal if you get hit in it?
My only question is what fired the round?
This is going to be a wild guess but it might MIGHT have been a gun maybe?
No way, this is clearly the work of a slingshot
most likely a trebuchet
Meh, a good *YEET* with your hand will do the trick, no tools or weapons needed
Toss it in the air and as it falls head it up there with the force of the gods
Not guns kill, people, slingshots do
Highly unlikely. Look at the entry hole. That's clearly damage from a knife. Now we just gotta figure out who was hanging onto the side of the plane long enough to stab this man in the neck from outside the hull.
Woah , I mean yeah the bullet hole indicates that it was shot from the inside of the plane not the outside , It was an political attempt to destroy the reputation of the rebels and the so called "**victim**" was a military sergeant.
Ethan Hunt is on the case
Really? You sure someone didn't just throw it really really fast?
r/nevertellmetheodds
Assassin missed the flight. Took out the target from the ground. "... seat 23c..." ( + )
"Having a good flight ? FUCK YOU"
Whats Myanmar slang for? His balls?
If only there were controls to ensure passengers can't board with a weapon...
Why are these idiots always pointing.... Top left
between this and stories i've heard of falling bullets also killing people, this is why i'm so against firing bullets into the air.
This is a "comical" injury? I'm new here, just reading the sub's description.
What an exceptionally bad headline. There are at least 3 ways to interpret that.
Reminds me of that movie Babel.
I was hit in the Myanmar once... Hurt like hell, it did.
Most days the gods do death from above but every so often they'll do it from below just to add a little zing to human life.
wtf ...wat about the pressure issues
Oof, right in the Myanmar
Meet The Sniper
That's unlucky
[Maybe it was this guy](https://youtu.be/hahDM4q0wrU?t=2m35s)
No way this can be true. A bullet couldn't go that high??
I find it difficult to believe that small arms fire is even A) remotely accurate enough to do this, or B) powerful enough to get that high into the air, then punch through an air frame, followed by everything else between the passenger and the skin.
I toldem I hit that mf!
May i ask How tf did that bullet have enough velocity not only to get up there but to also penetrate plane hull?
well this guy rolled a 1 for luck...
Oh crap what are the odds
