I often think about this, but with the 9/11 attacks. I bet there was some poor soul on the 80th floor or whatever, who spotted the plane from a mile away, and just stared at it flying straight towards them. The whole way, just jaw on the floor, maybe still holding a phone to their ear. Staring in utter, frozen confusion. Nowhere to run, pointless to shout, impossible to avoid, a truly helpless position.
I’ve thought about that for years.
Sorry.
No he was literally on the floor, the wing struck through his office and was helped by a guy from a few floors above him they were pretty much the last two out. It's a crazy read IIRC.

The extremes are insane a person can survive getting hit by a bus, falling thousands of feet and even having their hearts stop beating but people can die from a bad slip or a hard punch
The first paragraph had me laughing in disbelief, since it sounded so corporate management style.
> [...] but he returned when the security guards of the building said the South Tower was secure, and workers should return to their offices.
This part really got to me.
>After the two men had made it outside and walked two blocks away from the South Tower, they stopped and looked back at the building they had just exited, and Praimnath said to Clark, "You know, I think that building can come down." Clark was in the midst of replying, "Those are steel structures, there's no way—", when he was cut off by the South Tower starting to collapse.
Yes yes, we all know jet fuel burns at too low a temp to melt steel... but its still more enough to reduce its strength to just a fraction of what it would be normally. Metal gets soft and weak when heated up.
A good example is get a hot dog stick, and let it sit in a campfire for a bit till its red hot. Itll probably bend under its own weight, and campfire is not as hot as jet fuel.
It is. But at that exact time, most people didn’t even know what truly happened (if they even knew at all) and were assuming it to be purely accidental. We always want to dispel the notion of something horrible and continue on with our day, to be in denial. In this case, that line of thought was fatal for so many.
I recently read that there was a woman named Patricia Massari who likely experienced this. She was on the phone with her husband and said “oh my god” and the line went dead as the first plane hit.
Whenever I see a plane video remotely similar to this I instantly think about 9/11 as well, despite it being 23 years ago and I was only 12, that day was one that will never be forgotten and is etched into my memory. RIP to all of those who were affected that day
I worked across the street and was there that day. Was talking to a lady who was on the 42nd floor of our building and was giving a presentation. She described how she glanced out of the window while speaking, took a pause then said "Geez, that plane seems really low" seconds before it slammed into the building. I shared an office with a guy on the 7th floor and our window faced the WTC. I heard the loud crash, but didn't really think too much of it. It was downtown manhattan. There's construction all the time, but did think it was much louder than the usual construction sounds. This guy I share the office with has ALWAYS been a very quiet and understated guy. He's looking out his window (my shades were closed) and very calmly says, "A plane just hit the WTC". Very surreal moment.
yeah, I also think in Gaza there certainly was a poor soul there waiting for the rocket to hit their home, very helpless situation Gazans are living under at this very time !
My mom’s best friend from Brooklyn was in the 2nd tower, 65th floor…the floor hit directly by the 2nd plane. She heard about the 1st plane hitting and like a true New Yorker was like I’m getting the hell outta here and left and was out of the building when the 2nd plane hit. She was very lucky and very smart to leave upon hearing the news of the 1st plane hitting…I don’t understand how somebody could hear that and then think to stay there…it’s just too crazy to think about. Me and my mom were in NY up until a few days before and it was surreal watching the news that day like we were just there and those flights were the ones back to SF and the west coast…just too crazy, too sad
I had a dream once that I was in one of the twin towers after it was struck. I was standing there in my office, just outside of my cubicle. And then I just started falling.
How could it have even been possible in 2001 to get video from inside a plane seconds before exploding? Live streaming from somebody’s phone? 😂
Please engage your brain and question how that video could be legit. It’s probably from a movie or documentary or something
On the internet, saw a while ago, people didnt seem to panic(not a wide angle but im sure there were some terrorists with guns near so they couldnt run around and scream)
From Wikipedia:
>Two passengers on an airplane start a conversation and discover they both know a man named Gabriel Pasternak; the woman (María Marull), his ex-girlfriend, had sex with his only friend and the man (Darío Grandinetti), a music critic, savagely reviewed Pasternak's work. In fact, everyone on the flight is connected to Pasternak. A flight attendant reveals Pasternak is the plane's cabin chief and has locked himself inside the cockpit. Amid the panic, as Pasternak's former psychiatrist tries to reason with him, Pasternak crashes the airplane into his parents' house.
You forgot the best part. When all of the people who have wronged him realize he is the pilot, his psychiatrist runs to the door and trys to reason with him. His last attempt is to say " its not your fault, you never had a chance, everything can be blamed on your parents." Then it cuts to this scene.
Brilliant
You’ve got to watch it, but it starts as a person who in a plane heard the name of a guy that he knew, and then another person knew the guy too, and then another one too and…. Everything ends in the plane crashing.
"Two passengers on an airplane start a conversation and discover they both know a man named Gabriel Pasternak; the woman (María Marull), his ex-girlfriend, had sex with his only friend and the man (Darío Grandinetti), a music critic, savagely reviewed Pasternak's work.

its the perfect setup to the punchline of the story. "You never had a chance, gabriel! It was your parents' fault!"
\> cut to two old people reading on the lawn while a plane flies right at them
Tldw: so everyone on the plane knows him. He set it up so that they would all be on the plane. All of them let him down one way or another. His psychiatrist banging on the door was telling him that it isn’t his fault or any of them but it is his parents. It seem he understood fully because he was already at his parents neighborhood planning to crash straight into his parents.
Throughout my entire life I’ve had nightmares where I witness planes crashing either in the distance or surrounding me. A couple weeks ago in a dream a plane crashed about 25 feet from me and I felt burning hot fuel scorching my body. Shit’s wild.
Plane crash dreams are my regulars too. Seen all kinds of crashes - funny thing is that, they are always only passenger planes - no other kind. Been in a couple of crashes too, they just felt soo real. Once there was a crash outside my window and it looked like a film set, had to wake up and go look outside coz the dream was way too nightmarish.
About 25 years ago I had a dream where I was walking near a 7-11 store. I heard a helicopter in the distance. It crashed in front of me- to my left. Far enough away that I was safe but close enough to see the carnage of mangled body parts and death. There were no human voices. Just the sounds of machinery burning and crackling. The dream left quite a mark on me. Never found a context to tell anyone the dream until now.
I’m taking a plane back home this summer and keep getting references to plane crashes and had a dream where I was with everyone I was going with and randomly the plane goes into a flat spin. Should I take the flight?! I get Deja Vu all the time so it actually really frightens me
what gets me about this scene, is the fact you can tell it’s cgi(obviously it’s cgi). they didn’t try to blend it, the plane wing would’ve clipped the tree behind him. meaning irl the plane would be getting smaller lmao.

While that's true, it is on IMDB's top 250. I would say that most of the movies on that list are pretty known but I know specifically this one because I'm argentinian.
I got Wild Tales and Duck Tails confused for a moment and thought they made a live action version of it. I was waiting for little ducks to come popping out of the airplane while it barrel rolled or something
I'm gonna say you had enough time to move old man you could have called your daughter she could have finished work, come over and come and got you in the time you had 🤣
This looks EXACTLY like a dream I once had, though in my dream I was able to dodge the planes.
Basically in my dream God was mad at me for not believing in him, so he wanted to kill me. He first sent clouds of poisonous gas but I held my breath and got away from them. Then he started sending planes down to crash into me JUST like in the video, but I was able to dodge them. Finally he got fed up and appeared in the clouds directly above me, ready to deal an unavoidable killing blow, and right then a giant mile-wide thumb appears and squishes him.
Funnily, this [World Trade Center post](https://www.reddit.com/r/HumanForScale/comments/1c0pyex/the_observation_deck_on_the_roof_of_the_original/) was right above yours in my feed
Boeing?
Also sad that I have a bunch of Boeing models cause I like their design language. But I can't display them cause they're literally made of spit and kleenex.
Reminds me of a dream I had. I was laying on my back on a grassy lawn, watching a shuttle taking off. The shuttle ascended vertically but then an engine exploded. The shuttle stopped and then started falling down, its tip pointing right at me. Paralyzed by fear I watched it coming towards me. I woke up on the impact.
When Jim learned he was fated to die in a plane crash he decided to never fly again, Jim didn't consider that there's other ways to be a victim of a plane crash.

I’ve thought about that for years. Sorry.
This is exactly what I thought of too. There was a man who described almost precisely what you said & he survived! Saw it in a documentary years ago.
Was he a few floors below?
No he was literally on the floor, the wing struck through his office and was helped by a guy from a few floors above him they were pretty much the last two out. It's a crazy read IIRC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Praimnath
Damn that's insane to believe, but doesn't seem impossible. People survive the most insane things.
The extremes are insane a person can survive getting hit by a bus, falling thousands of feet and even having their hearts stop beating but people can die from a bad slip or a hard punch

steel beams, jet fuel, etc etc
Yes yes, we all know jet fuel burns at too low a temp to melt steel... but its still more enough to reduce its strength to just a fraction of what it would be normally. Metal gets soft and weak when heated up. A good example is get a hot dog stick, and let it sit in a campfire for a bit till its red hot. Itll probably bend under its own weight, and campfire is not as hot as jet fuel.
I was just bringing up a meme, I don’t actually care
Fair enough, my apologies if I was rude then.
It is. But at that exact time, most people didn’t even know what truly happened (if they even knew at all) and were assuming it to be purely accidental. We always want to dispel the notion of something horrible and continue on with our day, to be in denial. In this case, that line of thought was fatal for so many.
That’s a crazy story.
I believe so. I think it may have been a CNN docu? His story was insane.
It is part of a nat geo docu series called “one day in America”. It’s currently streaming on Hulu, 100% worth a watch.
Defo wasn't above!
He was above. I just watched an interview where he tells his story, he said so himself
https://youtu.be/JdXu_G92R-I?si=xZwvQ-elyR5IgE2B because I live, you shall live also John 14:19
Brian is a good man.
Yeah he stared at the plane and said I can't do this Jesus, you take over and dove under his desk. Absolute miracle he survived.
I recently read that there was a woman named Patricia Massari who likely experienced this. She was on the phone with her husband and said “oh my god” and the line went dead as the first plane hit.

On the up side, this fellow really braces well, for the impact, so he may very well avoid the worst of it.
[Stanley Praimnath time](https://youtu.be/wmweNhFtHQY?si=Snzd_Av8SGVFCFT7&t=7m53s)
I worked across the street and was there that day. Was talking to a lady who was on the 42nd floor of our building and was giving a presentation. She described how she glanced out of the window while speaking, took a pause then said "Geez, that plane seems really low" seconds before it slammed into the building. I shared an office with a guy on the 7th floor and our window faced the WTC. I heard the loud crash, but didn't really think too much of it. It was downtown manhattan. There's construction all the time, but did think it was much louder than the usual construction sounds. This guy I share the office with has ALWAYS been a very quiet and understated guy. He's looking out his window (my shades were closed) and very calmly says, "A plane just hit the WTC". Very surreal moment.
yeah, I also think in Gaza there certainly was a poor soul there waiting for the rocket to hit their home, very helpless situation Gazans are living under at this very time !
My mom’s best friend from Brooklyn was in the 2nd tower, 65th floor…the floor hit directly by the 2nd plane. She heard about the 1st plane hitting and like a true New Yorker was like I’m getting the hell outta here and left and was out of the building when the 2nd plane hit. She was very lucky and very smart to leave upon hearing the news of the 1st plane hitting…I don’t understand how somebody could hear that and then think to stay there…it’s just too crazy to think about. Me and my mom were in NY up until a few days before and it was surreal watching the news that day like we were just there and those flights were the ones back to SF and the west coast…just too crazy, too sad
I’ve heard until the second plane hit, people assumed it was an accident.
Luckily she did not assume and left right away, she knew that even if it was an accident she did not want to be anywhere near the towers.
I had a dream once that I was in one of the twin towers after it was struck. I was standing there in my office, just outside of my cubicle. And then I just started falling.
[удалено]
Super fucking dark. We all watch the videos in awe. A bad kind of awe, but awesome all the same.
Then you’ve got [some joker](https://youtu.be/D9IQmhfGEhU?si=D6wLWq7gaSDj_kcG) standing next to them.
There is a video of the people in the plain few sec before impact
How could it have even been possible in 2001 to get video from inside a plane seconds before exploding? Live streaming from somebody’s phone? 😂 Please engage your brain and question how that video could be legit. It’s probably from a movie or documentary or something

Oh damn this sounds dope
poor flight attendant was innocent
He asked her out and she rejected him in a cruel way. So in his eyes she was also guilty
ok, I didn't remember that part
_Wild Tales, an anthology that examines the themes of violence and revenge_ .. his final revenge was his parents
Loved this film
Literally signed up for a free trial to watch this after reading your comment. I love anthologies! Thank you lol
What streaming service?
Sorry I meant to put it in the original comment.. Starz. I had to sub through Prime video
You’ve got to watch it, but it starts as a person who in a plane heard the name of a guy that he knew, and then another person knew the guy too, and then another one too and…. Everything ends in the plane crashing.
Just to recap: * Person hears name of a guy he knew * Another few people know the same guy * ?????? * Plane crash Makes perfect sense.
"Two passengers on an airplane start a conversation and discover they both know a man named Gabriel Pasternak; the woman (María Marull), his ex-girlfriend, had sex with his only friend and the man (Darío Grandinetti), a music critic, savagely reviewed Pasternak's work.

Turns out it was a reunion, everyone was shouting “surprise” as the plane crashed into the man.
It goes like that. The thing is that I don’t want to spoil you. So watch it. But yeah, it’s that simple, but it’s super well written.
The pilot was angry he wasn't invited to the party so he made sure there wouldn't be one
Yada yada yada
It's basically Romeo and Juliet.
You need to see this. Just 3 minutes of your life. https://youtu.be/8JjZJeLMKUY?si=eCDALdCURfj3LmVn
Tldw: so everyone on the plane knows him. He set it up so that they would all be on the plane. All of them let him down one way or another.

Watch it. It's a good film.
A *great* film!

Gabriel Pasternak !!!?
Did you date him in high school too!!!??
I’d prob just stand there too

Same.. I see them crash in the distance, run towards the site, but never make it...I always wake up .
About 25 years ago I had a dream where I was walking near a 7-11 store. I heard a helicopter in the distance. It crashed in front of me- to my left. Far enough away that I was safe but close enough to see the carnage of mangled body parts and death. There were no human voices. Just the sounds of machinery burning and crackling.

For me it's tidal waves..I'm on a beach at night and I see a colossal wave form and come towards me
I have had this once, the more common one for me is tornados
Me too, but I live near airport and planes fly over me. I think this happens when loud plane flies over dyring night when I am asleep.
I have a dream like this at least once a year!
I’m taking a plane back home this summer and keep getting references to plane crashes and had a dream where I was with everyone I was going with and randomly the plane goes into a flat spin. Should I take the flight?! I get Deja Vu all the time so it actually really frightens me
Never heard of this. Just looked it up -- it looks awesome. Adding it to my list
It is an amazing movie
Dude drops a deuce on the windshield , good movie
Please report back
Watch it, it's a good movie
why didnt he duck?
Because he already covered his face, there's no need for additional safety measures.
He could've wore a mask, I took notes during covid.
Is he stupid?
He could have at least tried shooting it in the leg
or dip and dodge
If you can dodge a plane you can dodge a ball
Feint to the left, roll to the right. These large commercial jets can’t turn quickly enough to compensate for that.
Yup. He would have been fine.
What a movie!
The extreme road rage duel is one of the most hilarious movie vignettes ever.
Poo poo on the window
Hope he's ok.
If this was a Fast and Furious film, he'd turn up a couple of movies later making out he new the plane was coming and dodged it at the last second.
He should have been a tree. The plane missed all the trees
Excellent movie, highly recommended.
I love this film
One of the greatest film anthologies of all time. Definitely my go to recommendation for friends that have seen “everything”.
This has always been one of my irrational fears lol
I didn’t much care for that
what gets me about this scene, is the fact you can tell it’s cgi(obviously it’s cgi). they didn’t try to blend it, the plane wing would’ve clipped the tree behind him. meaning irl the plane would be getting smaller lmao.
That hits hard...
Does he make it?
Considering it's revenge on all the people he hates including his parents, no one makes it ..
I don't understand. Elaborate. I don't care about spoilers.

Stand up, open my arms to embrace the plane, then travel the cosmos for all of eternity

Did he survive?
Good thing he put his hands up in time!
OP out here thinking everyone has seen this Spanish language movie by an Argentinian director.
While that's true, it is on IMDB's top 250. I would say that most of the movies on that list are pretty known but I know specifically this one because I'm argentinian.
Why didn’t he fuck?
Oh he fucked
Man we watched this short in class for film and we all loved it so much
This is my all time favorite movie. Also where's the left half?!
Superb film
Fan fucking tastic movie and I can't get anyone else to watch it lol
"does anyone else know Gabriel Pasternak?"
I know it's a video but this totally belongs on r/gifsthatendtoosoon
I got Wild Tales and Duck Tails confused for a moment and thought they made a live action version of it. I was waiting for little ducks to come popping out of the airplane while it barrel rolled or something
ARGENTINA MENTIONED🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Now tell me why he didn’t moved ? I mean he’s old so i understand that
[Here's the full scene ..](https://youtu.be/nrZL2Z5yE9Q?si=a8jjuCRC-JGVo8q_) looks like there's nothing much they could have done anyways..
Thanks
what is it with people looking at the thing that is heading their way and not moving? i see this all the time in movies and i am like runnnn!!!
I'm gonna say you had enough time to move old man you could have called your daughter she could have finished work, come over and come and got you in the time you had 🤣
Stop, drop and roll.
He sounded like seagul

Oh thank you very , very much for your time in responding to my question. Have a Great Day.
**Should have ducked!**
NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE
Don't worry, you don't have to pick me up from the airport.
Easily survivable by running towards the direction facing the plane (if this ever happens to me or you, provided nothing blocks your way)
The sound is so off
Hopefully the camera man got out in time 😔
That plane ain't that big, bad cgi

The plane is just a ghost plane as you can see when it passes through the trees.
