Plane nearly falls into sea after skidding off runway. Trump's efforts save lives across the globe!

.

Can you say, "Holy Shit!"?





A plane landing in an airport in northern Turkey skid off the runway and nearly fell into the Black Sea, clinging from a steep slope with its nose toward the water below. All the people on board survived the incident.

The dramatic scene occurred on Saturday night at Trabzon Airport, the final destination of the Boeing 737-800 plane that departed the Turkish capital of Ankara earlier in the day. The plane touched the runway but then veered to the left, nosediving down the cliff before getting stuck in mud a few feet away from the sea.

Passengers panicked. "We tilted to the side, the front was down while the plane's rear was up. There was panic; people shouting, screaming," Fatma Gordu, who was on board of the flight, told state-run news agency Anadolu, quoted in AFP.

President Trump was quick to accept responsibility for the lives spared during this event.

I was stationed at a small USAF base west of there, near Samsun in 1967-8. I never visited Trabzon, where there was another remote military base. I do, however, remembering flying into the Samsun airport on a Turkish airline. White knuckle time. It was an adventure.

I'm glad everyone got off that plane safely.

It's easy to believe that he might tweet almost anything. That's too bad, too, because that site makes it so easy to create fake ones.
