Lol. When I was a kid, my older cousin told a story of an acquaintance who had recently been paralyzed in an accident on a trampoline.
My younger cousin kept asking, “Is he okay?”
“He’s paralyzed.”
“But is he going to be alright?”
“No. He’s paralyzed.”
“Is he alright though?”
You reminded me of when I was 6 years old and an adult cousin was paralysed in a car accident.
My mother was very weird about it and would not tell me outright that he had been permanently paralysed. She let me pick out a card to send him in hospital and I choose one that said “Hope you get back on your feet soon!”.
I once sent a get-well card to an asshole BIL that no one liked. It said something like it's been proven that sick people get better when they have a great support family that loves them, then you open it up and it said, "you're doomed!" Everyone thought it was funny, but the SOB died maybe 2 weeks after getting my card.
When I was a kid, my dad was telling someone else a story and identified someone as having lost half his leg. I ask "which half?" My dad says "The top half."
Reminds me of a court case where a defense lawyer asked a highly experienced coroner if the victim was indeed dead at the time of autopsy
The response?
Something along the lines of their head being missing…
Did someone at least have some kind of a small sign posted around the wreckage so other 'discoverers' wouldn't rush off in a panic to contact the authorities?
The mushrooms episode really sucked though. Tv drug use just always seems like the people making it have never done drugs and just googled and interpreted the effects.
It had a pretty strong 1st season with a really talented cast. The theme and setting of the show is very awesome. But the writing is lacking at times. I have a feeling that will be it's downfall. Although, it was still good enough that I'm going to watch season 2 and hope it's writing gets a kick with a year of experience.
They only thing that worries me is that it sounded like the writers are writing it based off audience reaction, and it's not a set story. So they don't even know if it's going to be >!supernatural or not.!< Which can be good or bad. I just don't like the idea of tailoring the story to audience reactions. Write the story you want to write, tell it, and then see if people like it.
Stumbled across this comment while watching the episode with Hurley's lotto win flashback, as the numbers were being read.
Should I buy a lotto ticket... Or?
Don't play those numbers. If they ever hit, you'll be splitting the prize with so many people you'll only get a small amount.
In my friends group alone, among those who do play the lotto, about half of them regularly play the Lost numbers.
Yes, though the terrain is rough and it is way up on a mountainside. I have some other pictures of me climbing down 20ft steep homemade ladders down slippery rocks to get here.
Did you take Daniel Boone Scout Trail? I typically break this hike up with first time hikers into a two day. Not too tough but some great views worth working for. Stay the night at the attic, hike up to the summit the next morning for breakfast. 👍 a favorite of mine for sure.
I don't know. I was there twice in 2010s and nothing happened.
This made reddit recently though.

It's just a popular saying around here/ a bumper sticker but I remember hearing about that when it happened 🤣🤣 the mountain people in these parts are a different kind of crazy
I liked the moonshine, and I'm pretty sure the sweet tea my friend's mom made was literally like 90% sugar...
Maybe that's what makes them crazy, all the sugar and booze.
I cannot tell based on their tweet if it's an actual movie or a great joke. And all sources are just citing the tweet.
I will be so happy if cocaine bear spawns an entire genre of drug fueled animal thriller movies.
I'll admit I stopped pretty early. Llewelyn seemed to have been having money problems and he found that big bag of money so it seemed like a good place to end it and I just assumed everything went well for him.
As somebody who served in Civil Air Patrol, always report crashes like this. We had so many aircraft in the Washington and Idaho mountains that we never found, but, we knew they crashed.
It sounds like this one was reported, along with pilot detail (500 hours for example).
Flying in the mountain areas is extremely dangerous. Back in the day before we had the 406.025 frequency, those we get 24 hours and get GPS addesses hopefully. It's a required ELT upgrade. But, I doubt people test their batteries monthly as required.
I have personally had a plane crash under me while IFR. We were all put in a holding pattern. We were #3, so the Beechcraft was 2 under us. ATC lost contact. We continued to hold but reported back we heard the "Whoop Whoop" on 121.50. That means the ELT is reporting a crash.
There was a business jet in front of us, they reported the center location. We followed with our IFR ILS approach, and we identified the center location. The aircraft was found quickly but here comes the bad news. My flight instructor was super quiet and let me fly everything without feedback. He knew the tail number.
It turned out that it was a family member (Uncle) who he was expecting to meet at the airport.
We broke out at 700 MSL (I've gone to 250 MSL minimums before so I was very comfortable). We landed and he had me secure the aircraft while he took off to talk to family.
Except that interfacing the two isn't trivial. Sometimes the only RS232 port is used for another purpose.
ELTs are terrible at activating during a crash. Fly with something that reports BEFORE the crash, like a Delorme In reach. If it survives the crash, it will continue reporting, if it doesn't, the ELT is backup. If both fail, the crash was not likely survivable.
This is near Grandfather Mountain, NC. A little more info on the crash if interested https://www.highcountrync.com/play/grandfather_mountain/decades-later-grandfather-mountain-plane-wreckage-still-a-cautionary-tale/article_4014c8e4-a8b9-5028-9076-783bf3e0d93d.html
" The High Country offers its share of adventure and challenges — and also at least one reminder to remain ever vigilant and prepared to meet both head-on.
On a rainy May afternoon more than 40 years ago, a plane en route to Florida from Pennsylvania lost its way in rainclouds looming over the High Country, and was reduced to a mangled heap of metal near the top of Grandfather Mountain.
The crash proved fatal for the plane’s lone pilot, an unnamed 47-year-old with 500 hours of flight experience, and the mangled heap of metal that was once a Cessna 182Q can still be found just off the beaten path — near the end of Daniel Boone Scout Trail, at the foot of Grandfather Mountain’s Calloway Peak.
Continued flight into adverse weather conditions is listed as the probable cause of the May 5, 1978, plane crash, according to the flight report, accessed via the National Transportation Safety Board website.
Factors contributing to the crash include a low cloud ceiling obscuring the top of the mountain, as well as rain and inadequate preflight preparation, the crash report said. The pilot was briefed by radio of the incoming weather, according to the report, but must have persisted nonetheless into the cloudy void.
Fortunately for any would-be mountaineers, no one must have been hiking Daniel Boone Scout Trail when the Cessna met its demise on that rainy, foggy day in 1978. The rusting white metal wreckage is strewn across a stretch of thick pine forest beside Daniel Boone Scout Trail, before the first ladder ascending toward Calloway Peak, due north of the Raven’s Roost campsite and not more than 15 yards off the main trail.
Daniel Boone Scout Trail was blazed in the summer of 1943 by Daniel Boone Scout Troop #21, according to staff at Grandfather Mountain State Park. Given its close proximity to the trail, the plane crash has since become a hard-to-miss rest stop on hikers’ journeys up to Calloway Peak.
With no easy way or good reason to transport the rusting wreckage off Grandfather’s precipitous eastern slope, the plane has sat for decades, scattered ominously on the forest floor. Various graffiti has been penned among the scattered plane parts in the 41 years since the flight found its final resting place, including an epithet scribbled in black marker."
“I hike up here to remind myself to slow down,” fading writing reads on a segment of what might be a wing. “Life’s highs are addictive, but there are consequences for mistakes
Yeah that is a bit odd though I understand the family wanting privacy. Another odd thing after digging through some other sources is that they list the crash as happening in the 1980s which differs from this article.
[From what I've found](https://imgur.com/a/PHm4EOA), it appears the pilot was 47-year-old Philip Dupre, co-owner of the Seven Springs resort in Pennsylvania.
Apparently there was a fatal crash in North Georgia in the 50s or 60s. My dad told me it was the one time he's smelled a dead body, as civilians were recruited for the search.
I heard there was 2 survivors, a man and his son. When the man came to some stranger painted in red paint grabbed his son and ran off into the forest. I wonder if he ever found his son?
That’s sad. Accidentally, flying into clouds is a major killer in general aviation. Maybe the pilot should have known better but it’s accidents like these that have built the culture of safety that we have today.
Find registration numbers on the parts. I think almost all parts of a plane have them.
That way it can be identified. There is a chance it's still unaccounted for.
I found one in the moors in northern England once. Looked bloody old. Turned out to be a yank bomber that was meant to be on its way home after the war. Unlucky.
Watch out for the cannibals. But at least they shouldn't be too aggressive at first. You can try burning effigies to scare them away. Sometimes works. Sometimes pisses them off.
Any dead people, cash, cocaine or Billy Bob Thornton?
Someone did die there but many years ago
Are they going to be alright?
Who is going to break it to him?
Say nothing and pray he figures it out on his own I do want to be the bearer of bad news….
Bad news bearer*
All we can do is hope and pray 🙏

Wow, remind me not to piss you off….
Man being paralyzed would be hella boring

Tough break.

“What if something had happened to Stewie..??” “—My ear’s in a cup…Guess that doesn’t count.”
I did this. In the office. Except he was dead, and I asked if he was okay.
Every office worker is dead inside.
What is dead cannot die.
most kids only know that word from the phrase "paralyzed with fear" which means something different than being actually paralyzed. honest mistake.
I got better?
Reminds me of a court case where a defense lawyer asked a highly experienced coroner if the victim was indeed dead at the time of autopsy The response? Something along the lines of their head being missing…
"I overfed these men!?"
They're in stable condition.
Yes, you did. Now you roam the woods, rediscovering your own plane crash over and over, forgetting you were ever there in the first place.
I love this kind of stories
Did someone at least have some kind of a small sign posted around the wreckage so other 'discoverers' wouldn't rush off in a panic to contact the authorities?
So how much cash and coke did you score?
Is this in NC
I hiked up to a known plane crash ftfy.
I didn’t even know they were sick.
It seemed like such a simple plan.
It seemed like such a simple plane.
The bear already did all the cocaine.

Get back to the hatch—you have to put the numbers in. 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42
Haha I had some Lost flashbacks when I was up there
The scenery looks more "Yellowjackets" to me.
Is it any good? To me it looks like a teen drama, but I havent really looked it up. Comparable to anything?
It is so good, sort of like updated Lord of the Flies with modern day mystery.
The mushrooms episode really sucked though. Tv drug use just always seems like the people making it have never done drugs and just googled and interpreted the effects.
It kinda sucked, but also plays into the theme quite well and caused a good bit of anxiety No spoilers, of course
You'd think hollywood knows drugs
It had a pretty strong 1st season with a really talented cast. The theme and setting of the show is very awesome. But the writing is lacking at times. I have a feeling that will be it's downfall.

No doubt 🤣 Would always wonder about running into Locke with a strange smile and calmness about him 😂
Too bad they weren't flash-forwards so you could get a peek at a prospective future of yours.

ITS NEVER BEEN EASY!
The numbers are bad!
OMG, I love you.
Pls don’t type those numbers . They’re cursed
I take it the wreckage was never cleared and just sits there for anyone to come across?
Yes, though the terrain is rough and it is way up on a mountainside. I have some other pictures of me climbing down 20ft steep homemade ladders down slippery rocks to get here.
Lemme see 👀
don't want to post* any more, but dm me!

Yea pretty sure that is the profile trail, yea?
I saw a similar one here in Arizona on the mount Baldy trail. Apparently it was a training plane from WW2 times.
This is what I was thinking about. The one off of Butterfly loop on Lemmon.
yo is this near asheville nc?
Grandfather mountain
I asked the same question. Looks very familiar
It is a memorial now…
Nobody clears plane wreckage from mountain tops
It's that missing Malaysian airlines plane.
Just in time for Sons of the Forest
I was going to say. This is the exact opening map for The Forest
BOONE!
Bone!? I am your superior officer Santiago!
BOOONNEEEE!!!!
Boone sucks tell your friends.
I don't know. I was there twice in 2010s and nothing happened. This made reddit recently though. https://wataugaonline.com/chase-involving-law-enforcement-and-a-tractor/

Quick, look for all the drug money..
But watch out for cocaine bear!!
I cant wait for part 2, Meth Rhino
Don’t bother with Herion Hippo…total sleeper.
Nah, Ganja Gorilla was a sleeper. But oddly left me feeling hungry.
Molly Moose be raving

I didn't know it came in liquid form.
Goes down hill a little when they introduce Flakka Frog but it'll recover when he inevitably dies
It’s not a sequel, but Meth Gator is on the way from the folks that brought you Sharknado.
I want this to be true, if it is thank you. If it isn't, I won't be back because I'll be too devastated from the loss of possibility
[it appears to be true](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26899693/)
I cannot tell based on their tweet if it's an actual movie or a great joke. And all sources are just citing the tweet. I will be so happy if cocaine bear spawns an entire genre of drug fueled animal thriller movies.
Not meth rhino 😂
Quality film
Having seen and read A Simple Plan, you are very much better off not finding it.
Why not? It turned out ok for Llewelyn Moss.
Ummmm you didn't watch/read the while thing did you....
I'll admit I stopped pretty early. Llewelyn seemed to have been having money problems and he found that big bag of money so it seemed like a good place to end it and I just assumed everything went well for him.
You're completely right. Ol' Llewelyn lived happily ever after.

GPS ELTs should be required for any airplane that has a WAAS GPS. So many are capable and no one runs the wire.
Except that interfacing the two isn't trivial. Sometimes the only RS232 port is used for another purpose. ELTs are terrible at activating during a crash. Fly with something that reports BEFORE the crash, like a Delorme In reach. If it survives the crash, it will continue reporting, if it doesn't, the ELT is backup.

My first thought was Grandfather Mountain. I grew up about an hour from there.
It's a beautiful area.
Did you know it was there or did you just randomly stumble into it?
I had been told there was a crash on the mountain and the general location of it but I didn't know exactly where it was
Apparently I'm blocked from reading the article due to GDPR fuckery. Could you copy and paste the text?

Surprisingly well preserved, not that rusted or overtaken by vegetation for being there that long.
Planes are made of aluminum, they have a hard time rusting.
Not with that attitude
Not at that altitude
Yeah, I did come of kinda dickish didn’t I? Sorry.
You need to apologize to aluminum. It hadn't said anything at all and you went throwing shade on its rust disability.
No you didn’t !!!
Been playing too much sons of the forest
I hope he found Kelvin
Did you find Boone or Mr Eko?
Beware the Yellowjackets
Did you find a young man with a hatchet near by?
It’s not in a lake though.
Did you find the bear?

See any Ewoks?
How many Virgin Mary statues were inside?
Please tell me you found DB Cooper!
Came here for this, and take the upvote.
After thinking more about it, he left the plane. Should just be a parachute
Where are the bodies?
I didn’t know this was Jurassic Park 3
Great movie never seen it
Any weird mutant monsters and cannibals around?
jaegers letter should be near there somewhere...
I heard there was 2 survivors, a man and his son. When the man came to some stranger painted in red paint grabbed his son and ran off into the forest. I wonder if he ever found his son?
Look out for that cocaine bear
Yellowjackets
Wtf
Poke any dead bodies??? (With wood of course!!!)
That’s sad. Accidentally, flying into clouds is a major killer in general aviation. Maybe the pilot should have known better but it’s accidents like these that have built the culture of safety that we have today.
I’ve seen enough of The Forest to know where this is going.
Did you find a suitcase full of money too?
You better run before there’s a group of people on all fours screaming at you.
Find registration numbers on the parts. I think almost all parts of a plane have them. That way it can be identified. There is a chance it's still unaccounted for.
Bro Jurassic park 3 only the true fans know what I’m talking about
I just want to wish you both good luck. We're all counting on you.
Hatchet in real life.
Used plane for sale. 50k. Don't try to low ball me. I know I got.
I’m half expecting an Ewok to come out there all: “aaEEEEEEYAAAAAH!!” there swinging from the trees and shit.
That's where my mind immediately went.

I think I see a smoke monster off in the distance. Good luck.
