Helicopters don’t crash every day. Cars crash every day.
@MueljiDamos
Truly rich men are becoming more scared of entering helicopters, especially with more news like this flying around. Please, most esteemed senator, pls, sir, I need your assistance to help me buy foodstuffs. There is hunger in the land
.
@engr_moob
They believe that the US is the best country in the world to enjoy life with the hope that they have the best of everything.
@KmustP
It’s not helicopters that have trust issues; rather, it’s flying helicopters in the US that have trust issues.
There are more helicopter crashes in the US alone than the rest of the world combined.
The crashes are beginning to look like high-level assassinations.
@Big_Sinudo
Helicopter is better than you; at least it doesn’t fret at hunger and death. You went to your vomit, unlike the helicopter.
@Olumidephillips
Siemens CEO, Spain. It’s another painful loss caused by helicopter mishaps in the US. The rich must avoid helicopter flights like a plague.
@brightoibe
The elites should invest in high-speed rail. It is cheaper and safer for both the Rich and Poor, It can also have an executive section where they can enjoy some privacy and luxury.
@NobleGrandking_
Of course, they’re not to be trusted. Your life can be bought easier as a helicopter
owner.
@PrincipledDebtr
Well, there is nothing wrong with the crash, it’s just that god have finalised their breath in a helicopter.
