Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
The student was already a Private Pilot. Plenty capable of landing. They were probably going for a more advanced rating. This is like driving on a NASCAR track and having the instructor jump out. The driver already has a license and can park just fine.
Random/unrelated, but fun fact - there are professional drivers with no driving's license. My local famous drifter who participates in all sorts of official events doesn't have a driver's license too, but to be fair he's 16 (min age for license is 18). You don't need a driver's license for motorsports afaik, not many intersections on a race track
EDIT: I had to check whether it's just my country after downvotes. Nope, this is pretty much agreed upon globally. Race tracks are not public roads.
Most MotoGP racers do not have motorcycle licences for public roads.
flying might be a little bit different in standard
Yeah, less signs
That's why the person said the fun fact was unrelated.
Actually, driving on a NASCAR track requires less credentials than normal driving as you only have to turn left. NASCAR drivers have to take extra classes to get proper driver's license.
Oh man that poor student. I can't even imagine the utter shock, and then to have to land the plane while tying to wrap your head around what the hell he'd just done. Black humor aside, I feel really bad for her. What a shitty thing to do to someone.
You assume he had a parachute or it was a stunt. And then you actively don't think about it anymore until the plane is on the ground.
Aviate, navigate, communicate
, lamentate.
This is the single most insane story ever. Who does this to another person?
Someone who will feel guilty for the rest of their life, probably.
That could be an observer on the ground pointing at the instructor.
Same kind of person that would steer into oncoming traffic.
This is very sad for everyone involved.
I heard someone speak about surviving their suicide attempt, and being grateful that they survived. About being in able to get to a better place, and the suicidal ideation fading away. I wish everyone could find that clarity.
The student said Bertazzo told her, “You know what you have to do, carry on,” before taking off his headset and seatbelt, opening the door and jumping out of the plane, TN reported.
mfs whose parents pushed them into the deep end when Rosario walks in:
I used to make so many fads on YTPND.
This needs salad kitty companion panel
Really? You're just gonna come in here and make me feel old like that?
Punch the keys (on the plane's control panel) for God's sake
Rosario, the student, managed to land the plane safely despite being in “complete shock,” he added. The plane was undamaged, Álvarez said.
Who fucking cares about the plane???
I do! It means the student was able to land it well!
Bro, think of the shareholders
Rickety ratchet, it's time to pull a Hatchet!
Wow, was she that bad?!
Landed alone, clearly not too bad.
Training Day
