this advice has been passed along to me, so I would like to pass it along to you
a cargo plane violently crashed and exploded today (november 4 2025) in the united states, shortly after lifting off from the louisville muhammad ali international airport, which is an airport in louisville kentucky. apocalyptic looking fire. there is currently a shelter in place order nearby and I think the runway is completely closed down at the moment
the videos of the crash and aftermath, I have been told, get fairly distressing. it was a cargo plane so not full of passengers but the explosion was pretty big and at the moment the fires are not contained and it is unclear how many people were injured or killed
but people were absolutely injured and killed, some of those injuries are gruesome, and the numbers are expected to rise
be kind to yourself and if you think you might even slightly be affected by these videos, consider making an effort not to watch them. a lot of these videos are being posted in places with autoplay. a lot of comments on this situation involve warnings that these videos get gnarly. as a reminder, it is absolutely possible to develop PTSD, PTSD-like symptoms, and other major negative mental and/or physical health effects just from videos even if you live halfway around the world from a tragedy
not like I post a warning every time something bad happens and violent videos go around but I happened to get a warning about this specific thing and I wanted to share that warning with you
take care
