The British Airways Unscheduled Ejection Disaster of 1990 | Episode 86

  • Summary

  • Ever have a day at work so bad you wanted to climb, jump, or get sucked out a window?On today’s episode: we answer the question, is 2025 in fact as awful a time to fly as it looks; we’ll find out why you’ve never seen 400 mph wind exfoliation spa before; and we’ll compare a commercial airliner to the Titan Submersible that imploded not that long ago.And because you are listening to this as a Patreon supporter, you get to enjoy an additional 8 minutes where we discuss: how a distrust of doctors can make you want to saw off your own fingers; you’d hear this whole jank sitch broken down for Gen Z; you’d learn why you shouldn’t melon-ball your eyes out of your head if they get too cold; and we would meet the coldest person to ever live, and her dramatic journey from river corpse to successful radiologist.It’s a pleasure to once again be able to present a story of survival so horrific you’d risk permanent sinus damage just listening to it. Not since our William Rankin Weathersode Disaster of 1959 episode have we followed in the footsteps of someone so unassumingly superhuman that they survived unimaginable levels of injury and torture. This episode also acted as double duty, answering the question: is it still safe for me to fly in 2025. We’ll talk about the FAA, but we’re not talking about politics. The closest I will come is to say it’s entirely possible that one day America is run by write-in candidate, Walt Disney’s unfrozen head mounted on Abraham Lincoln’s animatronic body from the Hall of Presidents. America can do as it pleases. I am simply here to try to keep people safe, regardless on how you feel about the issue. And on that note, I’ll keep my opinion safely stored within the episode itself, but spoiler: I think you’re going to be okay.All older episodes can be found on any of your favorite channels Apple : https://tinyurl.com/5fnbumdw Spotify : https://tinyurl.com/73tb3uuw IHeartRadio : https://tinyurl.com/vwczpv5j Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w Stitcher : https://tinyurl.com/mcyxt6vw Google : https://tinyurl.com/3fjfxatt Spreaker : https://tinyurl.com/fm5y22su Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w RadioPublic : https://tinyurl.com/w67b4kec PocketCasts. : https://pca.st/ef1165v3 CastBox : https://tinyurl.com/4xjpptdr Breaker. : https://tinyurl.com/4cbpfayt Deezer. : https://tinyurl.com/5nmexvwt Follow us on the socials for moreFacebook : www.facebook.com/doomsdaypodcast Instagram : www.instagram.com/doomsdaypodcast Twitter : www.twitter.com/doomsdaypodcast If you like the idea of your podcast hosts wearing more than duct tape and bits of old Halloween costumes for clothes and can spare a buck or two, you can now buy me a coffee at www.buymeacoffee.com/doomsday or join the patreon at www.funeralkazoo.com/doomsday
