To be fair this did happen 10 days after the October 7 attacks where paragliders attacked small villages
It would take about 10 days to fly from Israel to Doncaster in a paraglider, but it would be surprising if no-one noticed along the way.

No way you have thermals all the way. Basically an impossible flight. Plus night stops and shit.

Did any of them have those dumb little, loud ass engines attached? Because, if so, I understand a little more.
I donât think so. The other article literally just mentions this person lives near a paraglider school. Iâm assuming beginners donât fiddle round with paramotors.

Gotcha. I was just somewhere and didn't realize those things existed until I heard one. It's like the inventor of gas powered leaf blowers just wanted to ruin some more people's days.

There are some electric ones but yeah the gas ones are an absolute horror.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I lot of people are like this. They don't conceive a world outside their own. When I was in grade school, so many people in my hometown thought that... we were going to be the next Columbine (not like there were any kids actively acting odd, just the feeling that we were somehow important enough to have such a tragedy). They also thought several big companies were going to open up shop (like Best Buy, Red Lobster, etc... it was the 90s). Currently, some people still live there who think they have the highest number of Somalians living there (they don't), the largest amount of Muslims (they don't), and they're like the drug central for the state (they're not). It's a small town filled with people who don't really travel more then a few hours any direction and so they really don't have a concept of what's outside their world. The town of 20,000 must represent ALL 8+ billion people. If something bad is happening somewhere, then it MUST be happening really close to them. I had someone message me about how the Chinese were basically getting ready to invade them (so many texts about that). Oh, and after 9/11, so many people legit though that small town no one knows exists, was definitely going to be targeted next by middle-eastern terrorists...

Do you know what else terrorists use all over the world? Cars! How long will we allow these dangerous contraptions to be freely available?

Paraglider pilot here. A paraglider would be literally the worst way to invade/attack/terrorist-whatever any target. You need the right wind conditions to launch (or you have to have someone tow you up, but that only gets you so high); if there are no thermals, you canât travel any kind of distance (unless your target is on a coastal ridge with onshore wind); you pretty much have to âattackâ during the day (for above reasons); you move incredibly slowly (trim speed for your average wing is around 25-3mph); and you need both hands to operate the controls (I guess you could have a tandem passenger to work the weapons or whatever, but then youâre 2 people for every one weapon you have). Paramotors (paraglider plus big ass fan) makes all of this even less ideal, since youâre still very slow moving, and youâre loud.
In conclusion, this lady is a nutcase and badly needs a hobby.

I remember the early 2000s when basically 90% of all Americans were absolutely certain that jihadists were going to attack their local supermarket any minute now because Power Cable, Nebraska was such a strategic target.
Heck, there was a bomb scare because of an advertisement campaign for Aqua Teen Hunger Force that involved placing PCBs with LEDs on them that would display characters from the show. Because surely Al Quaeda would put conspicuous LED displays on their bombs.
News media want people to panic so they keep tuning in. Panicked people tend to come up with remarkably stupid scenarios like "Al Quaeda have unlimited resources and can show up anywhere to shoot people at random" or "Hamas want to take Dorcester as a strategic location to strike at Israel from".

I agree with the "nutcase" diagnosis but I think she just can't tell paragliders and parachutes apart and thought these were paratroopers. Which Hamas somehow has now.

I literally had an old lady tell me that black lives matter was going to take over destroy the UK and take over Britain. Like the organisation. There are some people that are so deep in right-wing newspaper and Facebook shit that they will unironically spout something like that.

Ah yes, because paragliders obviously are a very good invasion method. How indoctrinated do you have to be to think this???
also before i clicked the imagine i thought it was the flag of estonia of a sec

Oh yeah, hamas is very well known for their incredible Airforce and paramilitary units and operations
Even aside from that, I see 12 guys in the picture. If we assume this is a stock photo and the actual number was 5 times higher that's still only 60 people. If a foreign country or terrorist organization was invading you with 60 dudes in parachutes you could almost call the local shooting club and let them handle it. That's hardly worth the label "invasion".
