The smoke is the least of the problems with that crap. What a joke.

But all that fire and noise at the start had nothing to do with turbine engines running. Can you imagine what the passengers would do if a commercial jet did that before it took off? :lol:

It would scare the crap out of them, and it does! I flew on a Russian airliner in 74, yes there was smoke and flames........ :o
