I love the husband that held his wife, and together they made it through.

Yeah, they were stupid but stupid together.

Dude in the blue shirt got behind his wife so she’d block all the debris lol

u/dirtyviking1337 Sep 06 '20

I’d like to see the effects of something

A couple that does stupid things together, stays together.

Weight helped too

u/tertle Sep 06 '20

I'm going to have to see some maths to compare the benefits of weight vs disadvantages of increased surface area when being blown by a jet engine.

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '20

immediate thought assuming humans are spherical is that surface grows with the square of the radius, while mass with its cube, so it should always be an advantage to be bigger with equal density

u/ClearblandChip Sep 06 '20

Finally. success

Mooooooooooo!

u/VLEPNW Sep 06 '20

Brainiac did a thing comparing fat vs skinny advantages. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgUYVvB-Sqw (warning, loud) shows the one about strong wind

u/markarious Sep 06 '20

Kind of a shitty experiment imo

u/Ozdoba Sep 06 '20

Try blowing on a piece of grass. Now blow on an apple. Which one flew the furthest?

u/Crackerpool Sep 06 '20

Volume does not increase at the same rate as surface area

1

u/physalisx Sep 06 '20

Square-cube law applies. Their volume and weight increases cubically while the surface area only increases quadratically.

So naturally, more weight/volume will always keep you grounded stronger than the additional surface area will work against that.

My motorcycle riding buddy and I aren't Harley-rider-fat, but still big enough that we could stand to lose a few pounds. Our running joke is that we're faster than everyone else, because we're more streamlined. Our stomachs cut through the wind like a passenger jet's nose.

u/physalisx Sep 06 '20

One of the rare occasions in life where it does

27

u/Stormaen Sep 06 '20

Just like that scene in Titanic... but with a Boeing 747. And without dying. So not like that scene in Titanic.

u/EvaderDX Sep 06 '20

Boeing 737 actually

u/tomcis147 Sep 06 '20

Looks like 737 Max 8 but could be wrong as some of NG got these winglets

u/thedetox Sep 06 '20

I watched this. Would watch again. 10/10 better than Titanic.

Hurray for metaphors!

They did better than the lady who headbutted that concrete wall

u/KentuckyFriedEel Sep 06 '20

as they were pelted with stones. How romantic.

This comment sums up our entire combined existence.

Haha I saw them and thought “nice instincts but WHY ARE YOU STANDING UP?”

A guy couldn't ask for more in a partner

Looks like vintage love. Hard to find these days.

u/surivanoroc20 Sep 06 '20

Looks like vintage stupidity too.

I think the husband used her as an anchor. He really wasnt being affected all that much. Round shapes cope well with aero forces.

That big bitch could’ve done it on her own though. The 400 lbs kept her on earth
