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.
at that speed, the plane would have been completely vaporized just from the atmospheric friction alone.
Na; that jet only masses 10T.
That is barely low yield nuke. 10 city blocks wiped out and a decent fireball; that ignites a further 100 or so. Not even a city killer. Shockwave shatters windows for quite a radius though.
How dare you! Small mistakes and the OCD battles they spawn are responsible for 46% of off-season popcorn sales!
Pilot made a small mistake too
From what I've read their plane started breaking apart which is what caused the crash
Then again, the full investigation isn't over yet so we'll see
I don't know the details, just making a joke based on the other comment.
