  All planes land, some more controlled than others.

  Take-offs are optional; landings are mandatory.

    I would argue that the one that exploded over DC last month had almost certainly ceased to be a plane by the time it hit the ground.

      If you watch the more recent footage you can clearly see most of the plane slowly cartwheeling through the sky into the water. It was still mostly a plane.

        Is a Boeing that lands with missing parts still a plane?

        That sounds problematic, engineering-wise

    If they can still clap when the plane lands, they will.

    As long as you are able to clap the plane probably landed okay

  ALL planes land. The question is, whether or not there is someone left to clap afterwards.

    If an American plane crashes in the woods and no one survives to clap does it make a sound?
