- You're the post MVP, imo. I don't get why this post is upvoted so much. It isn't a real AMA, and it feels like disaster porn or something
  [Edit: I also feel like there's enough misinformation on the internet already. Those who want to have fun/pretend with something like this, please put a 'not serious', 'made up' 'fictional' or 'pretend' flag on it]
  
  what the fuck is disaster porn
  
  You have some valid points, a note about it being humor would be great for those who couldn't figure it out.
  But also, many users here are looking for more engagement. This is pretty harmless, and got folks engaged and talking about how we can improve. Net positive imo.
  
  Lemmy has been flooded with absolutely shit posts lately. It really is reddit 2.0
- nightmare fuel
- they keep call so i do interview
  
  Ignore the haters and focus on treading water
- I always wondered, do people ever get their luggage back after crashes like this?
  
  They get $50 regardless of the contents of the luggage.
Whats your cellphone service provider?

Nice hydroplane you got there
Is this serious? Like do you need help? (Amazing to think someone can post in realtime this way if so, from the middle of the friggin ocean)
- No, this is obviously not real. I couldn’t sleep so I decided to make this post instead
  
  Thank you! This post and the comments are hella entertaining.
  I hope you'll make it to shore soon
  
  Heh, never can tell these days :)

So did the taxi interpretive dance inform you enough to feel comfortable with your wet exit? Did the vest self inflate or did you have to blow? Are they serving snacks and drinks?
