Default Cool or sick?

Maybe I'm reading way too much into it, but I'm wondering what message he's
trying to send.

As an A&P is he saying flying isn't safe due to poor maintenance?
Is he trying to say to passengers "you have no control, you should feel
vulnerable when you fly?"
Is he trying to raise public awareness of some safety issue?

Since I can't figure it out, I'll stand on the side of "sick" for the reason
that he takes a form of public transportation that most people trust the
representatives of that company with their lives and then says "this is what
can happen to you if you fly".

I understand Halloween displays that say "this is what can happen if you
drink and drive" or "this is your brain on drugs", but I don't see this one
as a public service announcement.

As far as "cool", I think it would be cool if he had an airplane "parked" in
his yard. "Pilot lands safely in residence front yard, no reported
injuries." Yeah, you loose the gore factor, but you raise allot less
questions about your motive.
