Its a small mistake but still: its 30.000 feet per minute, not second
30.000 feet per second is about 10km/sec which is closer to speeds of meteors crashing into the earth. At those speeds, that plane crash would have had enough energy to likely wiped out the entirety of Miami.
It was 20,000 feet per minute
Where on earth did you get those numbers?
If it was travelling at a velocity of 30,000 feet per second it would have been vaporized by atmospheric heating. That's substantially faster than asteroids collide at. That works out app 20,454 mph which is considerably faster than a Apollo rocket.
Honestly, i felt the audio wasn't as bad as so many people are claiming it to be. Like yes its bad, but after seeing watching so much of palestine footage, its.... not that bad. They suffered for like 30 seconds, and then peace.
If you listen to hind rajab's audio, that thing is super devastating. Like imagine being 5 with your parents dead in the car with you, trying to explain to paramedics, imagine what those paramedics must have felt in that moment. All the agony, all the struggle. Like what thoughts did hind have while waiting for paramedics to arrive?
I think the reason this flight audio feels so scary to western audience is because, so many people have flown, and "it could be any of us", whereas hind rajab and other palestinians live in a "war torn" country. Like it happens all the time over there anyways.
This is why I like that we can edit titles.
