Plot twist; they cancelled because their convention had to be rescheduled due to unforeseen circumstances.
Ah Mr freeman
Who would have thought that this was a bad idea?
But otherwise Gordon would have missed so much fun:

E. One of them has the super power, and contacted the others who all know that the superpower is real and/or pretend to also have the power so claim they also saw the same thing
F. Same as E but that one person is lying too
D. They all, individually, have superpowers and predicted a disaster would happen. However, their future vision is predicated on the fact that they’ll all be on the plane. Them all choosing not to go will have significantly altered the outcome of a potential future event.
In short; you’re probably safe.

Imagine being the person who has that ability, it always comes true and letting your friends know, and the ones who believe you don’t go on it, but the person at Delta Airlines doesn’t believe you, so they won’t tell the pilot to not go. Gotta transport all that cargo…
Final Destination?
I’d still go. I’d find it macabre and funny, it wouldn’t make me anxious. Private plane!
Humans like to believe a lot of stupid stuff without evidence, and feel like it becomes more true the more other people believe in the same stupid stuff.
Those people aren’t ever right. I’d take this as a massive win!
Unless they were the witches they cursed Charlie Kirk
They just wanted to fuck with him a little. Curse worked too well.
Maybe they predicted the plane would crash, but missed that it’d be by flying into a nuclear fireball.
100%
“I’m going too. Why do you think I picked this seat?”

Brilliant. For anybody who doesn’t want to click through, according to that link, Ziggy picked one of the safest seats on the plane.
Oh Ziggy, will you ever win?
The airline would probably cancel the flight if they sold only one seat, so that’s a self fulfilling prophecy.
Nah, airlines have their planes in a complex web of routes all dependent on each other, that plane would fly regardless because after it gets (if it got there heh) to the next airport it would also prob have a route from that airport to another
I really don’t get the joke.
I mean I think I get it, but it isn’t funny.
The joke is that the physicists cancelled because of the possibility that it crashes?
physicists
psychics
Aaaahhh. Man I can’t read
I’m genuinely curious what you thought the joke was when you thought they were all physicists. Also I’d be way more afraid to get on a plane that a bunch of physicists came to a consensus that it was unsafe rather than a bunch of whacky scam artists that thought was unsafe because magic beans or whatever.
Weather. Statistics. Idk, this why I said I don’t get it
The comic was moderately funny, but this exchange is great. Thanks.
I would say the joke… Fly over my head…
Yeah i really dont get it 😅
Psychics can see the future
My first cross-country flight/flight of any kind was a red-eye in one of those planes with the middle rows (plus rows left and right). It was so empty that me, my friend, and my dad could all lie down across entire rows. It really did not set realistic expectations for what future air travel would be like. “Damn, it’s fuckin’ NICE back here in coach. Don’t. Mind. If. I. Do.”
They could not do a prediction before they booked the flight nor when they scheduled the event? So their powers are limited to same-day predictions? Probably low-level NPCs.
Charlatans sharing a collective delusion would not scare me in any way.

I’d ride it out and tell the stewardesses/stewards to keep the drinks coming.
they still cost money though
That is honestly up to the attendants at a certain point.
100%. If I have less than 6 people on a flight they get whatever they want. I know coworkers who would never give anything free, we are as varied as humans
service workers are humans? it can’t be!
That cartoon is copyrighted 2015? I thought Ziggy was a cartoon from the early 1980s 🤔
I thought the same thing.
I was like “there were Ziggy cartoons in 2015?!” But yep, Ziggy is apparently still ongoing.
The most recent one is also about airplanes. “We’ve upgraded you to early deplaning, here’s your parachute!”
Wow so the animation is really from 2015? It even looks ancient and aged, circa 1980s. And wouldn’t it be in poor taste for any syndicated humor comic to make 9/11 jokes?
Yep, it’s actually from 2015! The artist is the original Ziggy artist’s son (literally Tom Wilson and Tom Wilson II), so I’m sure he intentionally references the old art style.
I think this is more of a general plane crash joke than a 9/11 joke. It’s not specific about where the plane is going and lots of plane crashes happened between September 11, 2001 and November 27, 2015 (when the comic was published).
I’d be surprised if Ziggy didn’t make pretty much the same joke in the 1970s-1980s!
