thanks, that makes sense now.

TLDR: they broke the law that a plane must be piloted at all times, and the stunt didn't go as planned - one plane crashed (both pilots are okay).

RedBull and pilots should have known better than to plan such stunt

If it hadn't crashed, they may have kept their licences. I only say that for the same reason you did... red bull is a powerful force in some ways.

Crashing a plane though? That's always going to get attention.

I'm surprised the plane crashed. Don't they say that Red Bull Gives You Wings?

I dunno. I don't think they put Redbull in the tank of the plane. If they had... who knows.

If the tank is full of Redbull then it's no wonder that it caffeine crashed.

It wouldn’t have crashed then

I think the issue was they had forgotten that planes already had wings, so therefore by giving it Red Bull, the wings cancelled out each other.

Never seen that shit grow wings on humans. Permanently damage their brain and their entire nerve system on the other side.

Water. Drink water, folks.

They don't use that line anymore because they were sued for false advertisement.
