In the US, it's finally socially acceptable again to clap when the plane lands

  Was on a flight a few months ago, and when we landed, no clapping - dead quiet. Out of the silence, I heard a, what must have been, six year old shout really loudly “WE DID IT!”.

    that 6 year old clearly needs to learn the importance of silence. A commercial airliner deserves no praise, flights are no more special than train rides or bus rides.

      I celebrate my bus rides and thank the driver every single ride. We need more positivity for everyone providing services we rely on.

      If you’re not trolling - what a bizarre thing to tell a child. If children can’t be children, then who can??

      Think different, we should applaud more often for those that deliver services essential for many

  … clap if the plane lands

  • 667@lemmy.radio ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    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.

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

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

    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?

  Standing ovation if you’re on a Boeing plane.

  • Agent641@lemmy.world ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Booing when a Boeing plane lands safely because you updated your life insurance for nothing.

    I prefer standing ovulations.

    source

    • surewhynotlem@lemmy.world ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Ovulation is just another fancy liberal word for abortion. Wasting eggs is killing babies.

      Do I need this? /s

      I hope I don’t…

    I wound recommend against that kind of intense horseplay on a Boeing product.

  I learned clapping was unappreciated the day of this week’s plane crash, that I was scheduled to land at same airport that day. My reply is that us normal people are just happy to land upright. We all clapped when landing the next day.

  Ok, that is pretty funny, but no. Still not acceptable.

  No it isn’t.

  • rollerbang@lemmy.world ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I wonder who doesn’t like your comment. This clapping shit is so cringe. Maybe under some very difficult conditions. But hey, they’re trained for it? And I’m pretty sure they do it for themselves too lol

    • whostosay@lemmy.world ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      No idea, just shit your pants move on lol there doesn’t need to be a movie moment

  Also… Why would you get into one of those things? In a plane, you are the crumple zone.

  For business just teleconference.

  For personal, I can tell you that photos tell the story pretty well. There are people there already taking the photos. You don’t need a selfie there, just use the Gimp. For everything else in the modern world, it all looks pretty close to how it looks at home.

  There’s no need to travel. Specially within your country. Its not like high speed trains are any safer. And cars…what’s next the entire planet is a big ass road?

    Sounds like someone leads a boring and meaningless life.

      You might change your mind one day about what I’ve said. I speak from experience as a traveler.

    in order to visit one side of my family, which lives over 1000 miles away, a plane is by far the most convenient and fastest method.

  I will still judge you.
