"Torres started loudly rambling that his father was Dracula, that he wanted to be shot so he could be reincarnated and that he would kill everyone on board, one passenger said."
I watched this video NASA testing a new jet the X-59, which could cause sonic booms.
When I posted this I was not paying attention.
I'm posting here cause I went out to may car and saw 4 planes in the sky.
Now I have a small, private airport like 3 miles from me and then I have FLL (Ft. Lauderdale) airport about 10 miles from me.
So there are way more planes for me to observe at any given minute than I was talking about in 2024. Also I got my Distance from FLL way wrong back then. I now want to beat this record of 4 at once and I'm hoping to spot 5 tomorrow.
Oh and I watched this last week...................Holy fuck it's insane!
I see planes all the time when I'm out in the yard. At Night, if I'm in my room, I will see one through the window. I live 10-12 miles from the airport.
That's why I thought it was an odd question. I'm in the flight path of both Logan and JFK. Plus Portsmouth airport and Pease AFB is a few minutes from me. And there are several regional airports where smaller planes come and go.
So there's probably a plane flying over every 10 minutes. The military cargo planes are huge, low, and loud. The prop planes are low and loud too. Plus, we have medivac helicopters flying over.
But your question referred to seeing planes. And I'm simply not outside looking into the sky much. Plus, most of the planes are obscured by clouds or trees.
Ouch!
Person dies after being hit by Frontier Airlines plane that was taking off at Denver airport
A person has been killed after being struck by a plane on the runway at Denver International Airport during takeoff

I'd just say he died in a plane crash, and leave it at that, as long as they don't inquire any further.
It reminds me of a bit some comedian has, about a relative of his who died on 9/11. But he didn't work in the towers, and he wasn't a first responder. He just got into a car crash in uptown Manhattan, and it happened to be on 9/11.
Technically it was a plane crash. The plane did crash.
Into him instead of the ground.

A few times a week, I get these giant military cargo planes going right over the house. They're taking-off or landing at the Pease Air Force Base runway at Portsmouth International Airport. Sometimes, they circle several times before landing. This plane went over the house at 3,000 ft four times. The flight path is in green, it turns yellow when it lands. My house is the blue dot.
I also get a steady stream of jumbo jets from Europe, going to JFK in NY. But they're at 40k ft, so it doesn't bother me. Those 3 where I highlighted the flight path are coming from Abu Dhabi, Dublin, and London. If there's no military plane activity, the Europe flights will go right over the house.
