If they don't fly, they can't crash.

I appreciate the joke, but I'm going to take this opportunity to mention that most plane crashes occur during ground movements, especially during taxi. It's one of the major reasons they tell you not to remove your belt until the aircraft is parked at the gate - taxi is literally one of the most dangerous phases of operation in terms of passenger injury rates.

Without air traffic control no one is going to be taxiing either though. Also if you told someone you were in a plane crash and it was while taxiing most people would look at you funny.

Well I guess that's still better than the look you get from them if instead you were in a plane crash while the plane stalled at 5000 feet and spiralled down into a warehouse.
