Nope, there's nothing deeper there; just radial blur = funny. The best explanation I can give is that a radial blur is evocative of a feeling of intense emotional distress, so it's like whatever you're looking at is having a panic attack.

I see a lot of pics taken from airplane windows and they are usually crap. Hard thing to do in an interesting way.

You've done it.
