pilot: *over intercom* we're all going to die.
passengers: *start freaking out*
pilot: all of us will one day, no one knows when.
passengers: *sigh with relief*
pilot: but it'll probably be when we hit that mountain.
The Pilot's Announcement

Explanation
Experiment
The pilot initially scares the passengers by saying they're going to die, but then he calms them down by talking about how everyone dies one day. He then hits them with the real bad news, that they're likely to die when the plane crashes into a mountain. It's funny because of the abrupt shift from existential dread to immediate peril.
