    Being in a plane

    A phylosophical one for you. Zakky style...

    Just read something which made me think. When you are in a plane... Especially on a long trip. You are in the air. Flying at 500 miles an hour (which is quite fast i think you'll agree). Moving in space at previously unimaginable speed. But. Your phone is dead. You don't have internet access. Any movie you may watch is gonna be quite old so even that is something from the past. I guess what i am trying to say is that you are moving physically, but in all other respects your life is suddenly stationary. And then you land and your life is put in second gear and jump started again and off you rush. Strange, isn't it?

    Plane was moving at 500mph when he hit it?

    Is a weird concept mind, travelling so fast and yet nothing really moving at any pace.
