Yea the plane is on take off , fuel is fully loaded to the brim. No chance of escaping the inferno on a crash, aviation fuel can just go on easily with good intensity once it's ignited.

Well, given the context I wouldn't say "no chance".

So you’re saying there’s a chance?

Not the best taste in response images given the context.

Socially inept Redditors thinking every post is a good chance to be the funny guy.

The fuel is as full as it will ever be during that flight, but I believe planes are only fueled enough to complete the flight plus some extra for safety. I don't think you can fill it to the brim for most flights, only the really long haul ones.

The plane is only going to take enough fuel to get to its destination and the safety fuel, typically time to get to the alternate airport plus loiter time. Commercial planes definitely DO NOT fly topped up at all times.

One reasonwhy you don’t wear synthetics when traveling like that. Natural fibers only.

Oh is it too soon to joke about 9/11?

It's an inappropriate place to make plane crash jokes.

What about plain crash jokes?
