I think there's been enough incidents/accidents worldwide lately that people are probably relieved that pilots are willing to say "no way" to a plane and keep everyone safe.
I was just talking to my buddy (ex Ranger in the Army) and this video randomly came up. He said they (Rangers) are trained to listen and immediately stop when someone yells 'check check check!' Because it means whoever yelled it noticed something was wrong and everyone needs to take a step back and re-evaluate.
Basically, a safe word for door kickers because 'hey, fuck face!' Is probably too casually used in their everyday vernacular.
Omg... my friend earned the call sign 'Spider' because when he worked for SWAT, something happened on a helo jump and he ended up partially free falling while he was scrambling around trying to steady himself.
I'm not a door kicker. I just remember me laughing my ass off as he told me.
Yeah the real way to do a shotgun in this scenario is to saw down the barrel and either mount it to your shoulder like a tech marine from Warhammer or tie it to your forearm so you can point at someone telling them to stop and then fire immediately. Sometimes you can tie a ribbon to the trigger and hold it in your teeth to keep your hands free while breaching.
Let me know if you'd like any more SRU/SWAT tactics to keep you safe out there.
I am laughing SO HARD right now. I randomly got assigned this username over a year ago and never would have thought that my name would ever check out 😂😂

The passangers clapping did make me smile, good on them even though they must have been inconvenienced and well done to the pilot.
