minus-square@goldteeth@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilink60•3 months agoI would argue that the one that exploded over DC last month had almost certainly ceased to be a plane by the time it hit the ground.

minus-squareTheRealKunilinkfedilinkEnglish2•3 months agoIf you watch the more recent footage you can clearly see most of the plane slowly cartwheeling through the sky into the water. It was still mostly a plane.

… clap if the plane lands
All planes land, some more controlled than others.
Take-offs are optional; landings are mandatory.
I would argue that the one that exploded over DC last month had almost certainly ceased to be a plane by the time it hit the ground.
Is a plane greater than the sum of its parts
Planely not.
That sounds problematic, engineering-wise
Is a Boeing that lands with missing parts still a plane?

If you watch the more recent footage you can clearly see most of the plane slowly cartwheeling through the sky into the water. It was still mostly a plane.
