There is a particularly bad one on Youtube where you see limbs chopped clean off and flying all over the place. I think five people died.
Probably a bit too graphic to post directly. Search "Worst drifting crash in Saudi" though |

I've seen it. The arm coming off is quite gruesome.

Who are scientists to say whether or not Pluto is a planet or not? Regardless of how it falls into planetary roles, if Pluto self identifies as a planet, or a dwarf planet, or even a moon we should take its word for it. Planetaronormative assholes.

In all seriousness, I'm not sure why so many scientists make so many seemingly arbitrary decisions on what is and what is not a planet. If Titan, which is actually bigger than Mercury, is considered a moon, then I don't see why Pluto can't be a planet.

It gives a clearer meaning when we're talking about planets or seeming planets in other solar systems that interest us.
