  I actually see Gary Shwartz on a weekly basis! Him and his wife shop at my local store and I met him when I was involved with community theatre. He&apos;s a super nice guy

  I would&apos;ve named it Terminal Infection instead of dead air

  Two Wall Grafitti instances that will forever remained burned into my head is the dude trying to be all dramatic by saying &quot;We&apos;re the Real Monsters.&quot; and that lady who wrote a flowery poem about someone who died to the infected because in both instances, EVERYONE just dogpiles on them.

  It’s funny how Louis was an I.T guy before all of this, but because he’s got a business suit, it means he can ‘relate to a lawyer’ as Zoey and Francis joke. XD<br><br>Also I know it sounds dumb. But hear me out… lore videos on some well made custom maps! Like Bloody Moores and Freezing Point!

  Every time you say &quot;pay attention&quot;, I half expect to hear it follow up with &quot;this will be on the test&quot;. That would absolutely fuck with my head if you did that.

  If we assume the Korean War happened in the L4D universe, a lone wolf US pilot and copilot who heard about the infection sneaking off to swipe a South Korean cargo transport due to it being less defended than the US base while being familiar equipment is not entirely off the table for the reason a midwestern man is flying an RoK plane under the radar lol

  my GOAT is back!<br>One thing I noticed, is that L4D1 had a more &quot;hopeless&quot; atmosphere than L4D2 did and this is prevalent in the game itself. <br>That being said Dead Air is one of my favorite chapters.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4v0NHmWsEE&amp;t=472">7:52</a> - Happy to help &lt;3<br><br>Also, a quick note about Terry: The dead body holding the radio is actually different in L4D1; It&apos;s the dead guy with the green t-shirt and jeans. This specific dead body is therefor commonly referred to as &quot;Terry&quot;. He even got added into the the plane as a subtle nod to that, since his model was replaced in the L4D2 port of the campaign.

  Honestly the plane getting shot down do make the most sense, I headcanon the pilot as probably a deserter from the airforce (its a literally military plane he is flying) that felt he couldn’t let people to die and took one off the plane during the chaos occurring after the second week of infection, where the military was under full retreat from the big cities as the number of infected started overwhelming them, but unfortunately they still had enough assets to enforce something of a no flight zone over the country to prevent the infection from spreading even further, so that’s why he was flying so low. Maybe what happened was that shortly after the take off, the plane was noticed by a military radar before it could descend to a lower altitude and the order was given to shot it down, either when the plane was hit or in the subsequent crashing the pilot died.<br><br>It’s possible the pilot might also be a carrier and aware of it, would giving him good motivation to desert and also explain why the doors in the plane are sealed shut and why he doesn’t come out, he needs to prevent himself from accidentally infecting healthy survivors.
