It's always funny/wonderful in hindsight, but largely because it didn't end in tragedy.

But in 1975: funny news article. In 2020: it's a meme on tiktok/twitter, public officials scurry to figure out how to deal with the myriad of copycat 'bucket challenger' types posting their 'coming out of the box selfie vids to millions of waywards likes' on social media.

About once a year a story hits the news about people who’ve climbed up into the landing gear of planes and proceed to die from hypothermia and/or lack of oxygen. Though apparently about one-in-four survive.
