In a shocking mid-flight announcement that left hundreds of viewers clutching their virtual seatbelts, streamer and digital pilot HansHix (real name Dave Hicks) declared an emergency and ended his broadcast early tonight after what experts are calling a “catastrophic simulated aviation incident.”
The stream had been proceeding smoothly—takeoff successful, engines humming, snacks in hand—when disaster struck. Without warning, HansHix’s calm pilot voice broke through the cockpit noise with the now-iconic words:
“My plane is f***ed.”
Chaos ensued. Instruments spun wildly. Flaps disobeyed. The autopilot, described by one witness as “possessed,” reportedly refused to cooperate.
“We didn’t know if he meant the engine, the landing gear, or his entire life at that point,” said one distressed chat member. “We just knew the mission was over.”
In a swift and heroic decision, HansHix executed what aviation analysts are calling an “immediate rage-quit maneuver.” Sources close to the streamer confirm he proceeded to safely exit the simulator, close his flight log, and declare an early end to operations for the evening.
Twitch chat, meanwhile, was left in emotional turbulence. Some mourned the loss of the flight; others celebrated the comedic brilliance of the quote destined to become stream history.
“He didn’t just crash a plane,” one viewer wrote. “He crashed straight into meme legend.”
While HansHix has not released an official statement, insiders believe he will return to the skies once his virtual aircraft has been “un-f***ed” and morale has reached cruising altitude once again.
