To all the fags that think our planet is spinning and the rotation of the earth does not affect planes, I ask you to imagine this:
You have a mile-long conveyor belt (enclosed or open air). It operates at 10 mph, taking you from point A to point B. You decide to walk on it, against the direction it’s moving (so you begin at point B). You walk 5mph.
Will you ever reach point A?
Obviously not, so why is a plane different?
The earth (conveyor belt) is moving 1000 mph. Your plane is only going 500 mph and in the opposite direction of the rotation. How does it get to its destination?
It’s moving forward by actually moving backward? Reconcile

Because I don’t believe planes are landing on a runway moving faster than the speed of sound? Ya, ok champ.
They tried this experiment in the 1800s. Thought taking a hot air ballon and chilling for a few hours, that they’d land somewhere else. They landed in the same spot. Stationary earth
