There was a V-22 Osprey pilot redditor. His username was UR_WRONG_ABOUT_V22 and he was always on the lookout for anyone cracking a joke about the V-22 being a death machine. With an extremely condescending attitude, he defended his beloved tiltrotor on dozens of subreddits through an array of aircraft safety statistics and insults.
Anyway UR_WRONG_ABOUT_V22 was the pilot of the V-22 which crashed last week, he was killed by what he once called “the safest rotorcraft the USMC has ever procured.” This has all been confirmed by his wife, who has now taken over the account and continues to defend the Osprey’s honour.
Just checked out that account, I don’t know if it’s funny or sad that his wife immediately jumped in to continue defending the same machine that killed her husband with just as much zeal.
I do really appreciate the posters that still replied to her with this-
Yeah he argued about how safe they were. I argued with him a few times about how dangerous they are. Sorry for your loss but there is no reason to be mad at me for saying the Osprey is dangerous.
It’d be an incredible bit for someone to spend five years defending the honour of a notoriously dangerous aircraft they pretend to pilot, all for the epic ironic payoff when it supposedly kills them.

I want this to be true, and there’s no way to verify it’s false! It’s now canon

I’m amazed that this is real

It’s like if Groverhaus somehow suffered explosive decompression but his groverwife survived and carried on defending his honor
I looked so hard for that emoji lol, I knew we had it
Somebody decided to buy the max SGLI policy when hubby was out in their wirrly-bird.
