"This is the stuff of nightmares. I fly, but it terrifies me. People always say, 'But it's so safe!' And I don't feel so bad. Then I see this stuff, and it starts all over again," another commenter wrote.

"Horrendous photo of the plane spinning...almost looks like it had no fumes, no gas, maybe even no engine or pilot!! Never thought a place could fall that way!!," a user on X chimed.
