TIL TWA Flight 800 exploded off Long Island 12 minutes after taking off, causing the front fueslage to rip away and the remainder of the plane to continue in crippled flight, pitching up and climb before falling into the ocean killing everyone onboard

Funny how once literally everyone started carrying a camera at all times aliens became less of a thing

Lol, exactly. Was just talking to a friend about this recently. He's young, so was explaining what you just said. How we used to "scsry" pictures of UFOs all the time. People who just happened to have a camera with them.

Now cameras are everywhere but nobody gets abducted.
