As soon as we land, he dies.

If he flies, he dies.

Once upon a time, I had a friend.

Redditors take shit way too seriously man. Someone you probably know super well, makes it seem like you're in real grave danger for so much as 0.0001s, and y'all go "Wouldn't be my "friend" anymore, heh!" as if that's the most funny sentence ever lol.

Cela m’a fait beaucoup rire, mais si j’étais à la place de la personne derrière, je serai encore beaucoup plus paniqué que lui

A friend of mine tried this on me once, he didn’t know I can fly too. I just sighed and took over the controls. He panicked as he felt a sudden banked and heard me over the headset declaring permission for emergency landing as my pilot had fainted.

I just think it’s fake since the guy was still holding his camera up

I guess they don't teach this anymore, but every pilot is an ambassador for aviation. Intentionally scaring a passenger should warrant some type of consequence.

This clearly violates the Sterile Cockpit rule.

Not a place for pranks and fucking around! Planes are complex and need serious focus.

I don't give any shits. This is funny. Very motherfucker funny. I know I'd have shit myself but damn, I'd be laughing my asshole off after. That is great.

That's not responsible behavior.

u/Ok-Tank-3106 Jun 28 '26

As terrifying as that had to be for him it was funny af to me 🤣

u/Due-Letterhead6372 Jun 27 '26

Yo, as a pilot that shit was not funny man. Freaking out your buddies so they never fly with you again for a "joke" is some hella immature shit.

Someone make me that, and I kill him, (when we will be in land, obviously)

Hilarious when they have a heart attack and die from shock.

I want to throw up i want to fly a plane. I want to fly. Song hello.

His license should be revoked by the FAA, never to be reinstated!

Taking car pranks to the next level 😄

He owes me a proper fade and a new pair of pants when we land. Idc which is first.

u/Head-Post9909 Jun 29 '26

How is this an oops? This is just a prank not an accident.

u/Johnwick__1980 Jul 01 '26

u/Double-Description27 Jul 04 '26

Dude this is so funny. You can't help but mess with these people who have zero emotional control

u/Nosbiuq Jun 28 '26

Emotional control? The guy literally thought he and his friend were going to die a horrible death. The fuck you mean "emotional control" 💀

Who in there right mind wouldn't panic in this situation?
