China is planning to offer new means of mass suicide, the C919 (Plane) will be in operation this year...and offer seats to 168 depressed passangers with no regard for their lives, inspired by chinese elevators and escalators - this beauty will bring you screaming to your death in no time.

Anyone else excited about this new great chinese invention?
Would you prefer to die screaming, flaming to you death in the C919, to be crushed in an escalator or do you have any other favorites?

I like how they named a crater after him, because a crater is what you get when you try to send someone into space with Bronze Age technology.

Pfft, the CH-46 will always be the best flying death trap, or the harrier, or the USMC's Hornet fleet.

the real joke is that it was paraded around the media as chinas first indigenously designed airplane that would totally compete with boeing and was a symbol of the coming chinese dominance of the 21st century when actually

Well, while no one really dies in train accidents in Norway, save a few interesting displays of fire and ice (Hail Bathory) - they freeze to death waiting for the trains, or die of boredom stuck in the train because of some random moose decided to check out the light at the end of the tunnel coming towards it at 200km/h was. After the New Year Tsunami though we learned that trains are not very good swimmers. They might want to fix that.

Trains are OK I think, unless they are Norwegian. Japanese trains are awesome.
