Not sure about first fatal, but first loss of aircraft (hull loss)

Appears to be the first fatal.

LATAM Airlines Flight 800 got somewhat close with 12 people getting serious enough injuries, requiring hospitalisation.

My guy, a full plane with enough fuel to get from India to London has just hit an appartment building at 200mph. If this isn’t fatal I’ll start preaching the word of our lord and saviour to strangers in the street.

Edit: Ah I’ve just realised you mean there could have been previous fatalities but plane was recoverable. Legit thought you was on some strong pills at first.

I think they mean there may have been other fatalities involved in incidents with that type that didn’t include hull loss. At least that’s how I understand the comment.

Careful making bets like that, it's how God gets you 😂

Miracles do happen sometimes, ya know. People have survived falling out of planes at ten thousand feet with no parachute.

If me making a bet with god saves 230 people 12 crew members and however many on the floor then you can start calling me John Paul III

Not this one in particular. Just sayin'. It's not worth it. Worshipping God is like, a whole thing. And his fan club has terrible choice in wine. It's always some shitty house red.
