wtf are they smoking at united lmao
are they planning a re-enactment for next year?
Why do a flyover when you can do a flyinto?
probably 2 planes, with muslims as the "pilots", and the same amount of people as the other 2.
How did this get approved? You'd think someone in the chain would say maybe a flyover for 9/11 is a bad idea.
This is on par with commemorating burn victims with a pyrotechnics show.
Karen Carpenter Memorial Buffet
Just slightly out of touch jfc
Yeah y'all might wanna sit this one out
I wonder if they'll consider reenacting the time they punched that doctor out or the times they killed people's pets.
I'm gonna play a game of Jenga in memorial.
Ignoring how inappropriate it is, it’s still a boring thing to see.
“Hey want to go outside and watch a regular ass plane fly across the sky?”
You see it as a boring plane. They see it as a giant flying billboard.
They could do a low pass over downtown to make it more interesting
United is also helping to transport war materials to Israel on commercial flights

What the fuck!?
Lol
LMFAO even.
Side note, why on earth are they doing their 9/11 reenactment in Denver?
~~Headquartered there, I think.~~
~~Still fucking stupid though.~~
j/k they're headquartered in Chicago lol
So… you are not aware of the airport’s basement.
What a stupid idea. What next, they delay controlled demolition of a couple of buildings until 9/11 as a tribute?
Who the fuck ever thought that was a remotely appropriate idea? Fucking idiots.
If you think that's bad, you should hear the original plan for how they were going to conclude the event.
It would be a hit….. 😎
I wonder the salary of the person who came up with this idea.
rofl
Okay...so what would the fighter jets do?
Like...let's say they did this.
This 2 jets are escorting the plane, but stay with me now, some radical on the planes highjack the plane. Now it's flying towards ground zero... Are the fighters gonna blow it up and the folks on board?
Ya that would be fucking amazing to see on such a tragic day. Fucking dumb.
And I know maybe I'm dumb and don't get why they're escorting it. But the bad guys who would do something aren't gonna be coming in with their own jets to get into a dogfight. They'll be regular looking dude with a pocket knife or a bomb strapped to his chest or some shit.
Even if they shoot it down... they'd be shooting it down over the city lol
We call those freedom fragments.
They say if you stick your tongue out and wait for freedom fragments to land, you'll never have to worry about a medical bill again!
Why does the link redirect to youtube?
Site doesn't load
It is probably geoblocked
We probably shouldn't be linking to it on Lemmy, then
JLD what the fuck gif....
