That pilot was a hero. The passengers lived while he went down with his ship.

BTW, was I the only one whose first reaction was, "Oh, the humanity!"?

Shit happens when you're radiated from the Japanese reactor meltdowns.

Misleading thread title. That's not what happened at all.

Why am I the only one who has read MARIS' sig? It says right there that nothing he posts is serious. Why do people take his posts seriously?

I don't see sigs. My bad.

I'd rather be a coward-ass motherfucker then a dead hero, sorry!

That's exactly what happened.

the pilot encountered difficulties as he was coming in to land. Storch and the other passengers jumped out of the craft when it was around two meters off the ground. The airship immediately shot upwards, gaining up to fifty meters in height, possibly due to the sudden loss of weight. The survivors then heard the screams of the pilot as the blimp was engulfed in flames.

You've told this lie twice now.

Nowhere in my sig does it say I'm not serious.

You read like Mixum.

I didn't want to assume the other conclusion, which would be that you're an idiot.

Can't he be both?

I stand corrected.
