The point that no one wants to make
Look, saying poorly of someone who died is not an act that most people like to do. You can see the point this individual is attempting to make, even though not many people will find the thought of dying amusing. It’s something that not many people will say, though, instantly.
It’s easy to upset someone by bluntly stating things and most people would probably just accept the emergency landing. However, it wasn’t the case for the guy in this scenario because he was trying to make his point.
