| 2025-04-03 | |
| [FoxNews] The incident unfolded on March 27 as the red Cirrus SR22 propeller aircraft was arriving from the Myrtle Beach area. "Immediately upon touching down the aircraft began to bounce several times," Steven Markovich, a witness who was filming an aviation show at the airport, told Storyful. "Wisely the pilot aborted the landing and did a go around. Second time was a perfect landing."

| #6 Wuz talking Movie Problems at the campfire recently and commented on how movies have The Heroes, in typical load out, and start a chapter at ground level and end up at like 30,000 feet with no breathing apparatus or cold weather clothing, and they're just fine. |

| #5 Sure, you're laughing now, but will you still be laughing when all this heat works its way down to Earth's core and the temp at Gaia's very brisket skyrockets from [clickety-clack] 5,957 degrees Furrin (plus or minus 500) to 5957.04 (ditto) and the whole goddam ball of wax blows up like a Hollywood grenade? I mean, think of the impact on the Gretasphere alone! |

| #4 Global Warming, man! The 0.04 degree C rise in the average global temperature has caused the Earth to expand, as things do when heated. Because the surface of the Earth is higher, a landing plane will encounter the ground sooner than expected, leading to bounces. |

| #3 It's called "Porpoising". "Thou shall not try to force an unstabilized aircraft onto the landing runway." A go-around from final approach was prudent but not initiated. Probably a student on solo or with a "surprised" CFI. |

| #2 Looks to have come in, excessively exceeding the proper landing speed. |

| #1 "We don’t have any information about the plane or its pilot/passengers, and no emergency response was activated on the day the video was posted," she added. Huh? |
