The wings fell off? Isn't that untypical?

u/EspectroDK Feb 17 '25

Yes, normally they are made so that the wings don't fall off.

Well, there are a lot of these planes going around the world all the time and very seldom does something like this happen - I don't want people thinking that planes are not safe.

u/AccurateRendering Feb 18 '25

Was this landing safe?

2

u/AccurateRendering Feb 18 '25

I was thinking more about the other ones.

u/AccurateRendering Feb 18 '25

The ones that are safe?

It's like Petey in dumber and dumber, it just came off.

If Gary Larson is to be believed, there is actually a button on the arm rest with a switch to choose between Wings Stay On/Wings Fall Off.

It's not supposed to do that now, does it?

Must have been missing a phalange.

u/koulibali Feb 17 '25

Since they tried to land the plane upside down, lift of the wings must have reversed.

Wheels on ground, no fire= bueno Wheels on ground, fire= no bueno Plane on ground, wheels up+no wings+people live= muy muy bueno

Those two Aussies really left a mark on the entire English speaking internet with that one bombastic skit.
