I know it's easy to meme the shit out of this because jeets, but passenger plane crashes always give me the feels. The knowledge that you're going down and about to die and there's nothing you can do about it is terrifying just to think about. At least most car crash deaths are more or less instantaneous.
 
Horrifying, it looks like it crashed in a suburban area too which probably killed a bunch of people on the ground minding their own business.
I wonder how long it takes for India's trash media to start bitching at Pakistan. Or maybe...?

Now imagine being someone minding their own business on the ground and all of a sudden you turn into a fireball by jetfuel or get crushed by a mammoth vehicle.
 
Of course these fuckwits have their phones out.
A plane carries considerable amounts of jet fuel.
What if that gets set on fire? Then they'd be streaming/filming a snuff film. It's going to end up like those horrific photos of petrol tanker truck crashes where people gather to try and scoop up petrol only to get turned into charred mangled corpses.
