Lesson for me: Don't do reverse image searches on random airliner fotos.
Lesson for everyone: Before posting posting airliner fotos, make sure the aircraft didn't just randomly explode at some time.

It's not like this Maennerbund has a composer, or even a good lyricist.

»Contrails are thin cirrus clouds, which reflect solar radiation and trap outgoing longwave radiation. The latter effect is expected to dominate for thin cirrus (Hartmann et al., 1992; Meerkötter et al., 1999), thereby resulting in a net positive RF value for contrails.«

There was often a multiple choice answer like »I speed up to quickly pass the dangerous situation«. It was always one of the wrong answers.
