[Thought Art]

This is really sad. I’m a big fan of a couple of his songs.

There is no way I'm getting into a human piloted helicopter. That shit is a death machine. Apparently they're a bit safer than a private plane but seems like there are less ways to land them safely if something goes wrong.

I didn’t know who Oliver Tree was before the news. Great music and art. RIP.

@LordFall there’s a  helicopter tour company only a couple miles away from me, and it’s only $20! Never been on it. I’ve been toying with the idea. I wonder how that experience would be while I am high! I would obviously only do it while the weather conditions are clear. Will take pics if that ever happens.

You'll be 99.997% fine but I mean if not say hi to Kobe for me

@LordFall I ride in them a lot for work. Very dangerous. Also, very safe if you are careful. 
 

There is a risk in everything. My work is full of safety considerations I have lots to be mindful of. 
 

We almost got hit by a Jet who didn’t warn us of him being coming in for landing at a small air strip.

Helicopters. Nope. Nope. Nope.

RIP buddy. Recognize some of his songs from Tiktok edits. 32 is too young.

I consider myself insanely lucky with the amount of helicopter rides I was on (wildland firefighting), and that one time where I was in a helicopter with an aftermarket part in the rotor blades. That helicopter shook a lot during that ride. Didn't think too much about it other than "man this shit has gotta be off." That same day, another pilot of the same manufacturer brand of helicopters went down. The word I got was that the rotor blades straight up flew off of the helicopter, and he went down, falling out of the sky and killing the pilot. It was literally a situation of us or them for whoever was going to die first. 

I also almost got hit on the ground by the tail rotor. 1 meter in the wrong direction and I would have been shredded. The pilot was a fool with his landing strategy that day.
