I guess they would be a bit unwilling if it was too close!
But they are often quite sensibly eager to blow the fuck out of buildings rather than themselves. I think of it like how people were talking about training first responders to patch people up under fire for mass shootings versus my training where in every scenario the first thing you do is check that the danger is over and it’s safe to offer help. Otherwise in the test you fail or in real life you add to the toll.
I mean… is that a shocker? That the country targeted by sanctions seek to avoid them? There is a reason why they are under sanctions (which includes general anti-communism or some racism, too, of course). But what about other countries who are seeking to deal in weapons with NK? Sounds like this was a pointless “sting” operation made to make the film maker feel cool more than anything else.
The suspense is building. The Jetman guy tends to document his activities, but I am not seeing anything from him lately. Could be someone with a similar rig. Odd, though, these days anyway, that someone wouldn’t be cashing in on the Youtube and social media bucks by posting these hijinks online.
Given the amount of cash it would take to put together what the Jetman has, it is not gonna surprise me if this doesn’t end up being something government funded or even managed.
Why do they draw giant penises with their contrails? Sometimes the human factor takes over, I guess. Not to say it is military, but it just seems way out of the ballpark for personal finance.
That gives me pause. The first one was 3000 feet, which the Jetman guy has been documented reaching. 6k seems high, I dunno.
