I really don't get the joke.

I mean I think I get it, but it isn't funny.

The joke is that the physicists cancelled because of the possibility that it crashes?

I'm genuinely curious what you thought the joke was when you thought they were all physicists. Also I'd be way more afraid to get on a plane that a bunch of physicists came to a consensus that it was unsafe rather than a bunch of whacky scam artists that thought was unsafe because magic beans or whatever.

The comic was moderately funny, but this exchange is great. Thanks.

The psychics predict it will crash is the joke. Though the stewardess made it up as a joke which is also the joke.
