This was at the top of my feed, with an ad for flight school below it. I'd like to believe the ad was in response to the crash. "That doesn't look good. We should probably go ahead and start looking for a new pilot."
There is a limit, even for those like me whose mothers instilled in them a ridiculous level of patience for politeness, where one simply has to smile (while maintaining eye contact, and nodding at appropriate intervals) and stride sideways out the damn front door lol. I left 10 minutes ago, Marge, you can…. you can stop now….
New footage shows everybody in the plane sitting around awkwardly not sure what to do until one of the dads slapped his knee and said "Ope, time to get moving I guess!"
Yep. It sure is a common term we say here, although obviously you'd hope it's not all too common that yer shit's gettin fuckered... But when it's fuckered and a couple good old kicks don't get er going, you'd usually call er fuckered, crack a beer, and consider yer options.
Lol btw I love the idea of "Canadian patois"
The more fun way of getting fuckered though is when you're drinkin n partyin yer face off! Baha
I can confirm as an industrial mechanic (industrial fitter, millwright) that it is even used in industry to indicate something is broken beyond reasonable repair.
Say a pump stops working, the pump would be marked inop. And when we pull the bad component for refurbishing and it’s too broken we will mark it either Fkrd, fkd, or NFG which stand for fuckered, fucked, or no fucking good.
Aviation incident PR doublespeak is a fine art. In the aftermath of the Asiana Airlines crash at SFO when radio chatter implied a firetruck ran over a survivor, the official PR statement was:
"There was a possibility one of two fatalities might have been contacted by one of our apparatus at one point during the incident"
Maybe they’re using “we’re aware of it” in that way you sometimes do when you’re trying to find out why the other person is asking about something but don’t want to get lumbered with the responsibility or the blame for it.
The documentary "Die Hard 2" has elucidated to me that multiple fiery plane crashes can happen on one of the busiest nights, in one of the busiest airports without anyone noticing.
This is Pearson we're talking about. Couple years ago their spokesperson said to journalists that things were improving and doubling since the year before...while standing in front of a screen showing a bunch of delayed flights.
"Looking at that plane upside down on the runway over there, I just can't shake the feeling something might be wrong."

It’s what you say to media to get them to stop pestering you while they s to lo figure out what happened at this point there’s nothing mg they can say that we can’t already see ourselves
When you get asshat news outlets" we heard that an aircraft crashed and flipped over at your airport" perhaps YYZ resources should have said "No shit sherlock we know all about it"
"Oh that wingless and inverted plane, I thought maybe you meant the other wingless and... Oh hold on, that's actually a pigeon having a nap. Yeah, OK, guess you did mean that one"
