      This emoji always makes me laugh because I think of bat boy from those tabloid magazines from the 90s or early 2000s

    I don't know the cause of the crash but the following makes me laugh. I wonder what it is in Persian.

    Jesus nut

    Jesus nut is a slang term for the main rotor retaining nut or mast nut, which holds the main rotor to the mast of some helicopters. The related slang term Jesus pin refers to the lock pin used to secure the retaining nut. More generally, Jesus nut (or Jesus pin) has been used to refer to any component that is a single point of failure which results in catastrophic consequences, and the only thing left to do is, metaphorically speaking, pray to Jesus, hence the name.

      if you build a helicopter, do NOT use yourself, loved ones, or politicians you want alive as test pilots

        Haha if I built one myself I'd probably want to test fly it myself and maybe die. I understand the concern though
