I have been on enough flights where almost all of the other passengers have been loudly coughing, kicking seatbacks, Attempting to stuff multiple oversized bags into the overheads, farting, eating fish, trimming toenails etc. At this point I don't think we can really discount the fact that they all could have deserved it.

I mean the whole plane could have been filled with Nickleback fans returning from a concert.
I hope no one lets you near the production of passenger aircraft

or I do

gimme a sec

Nice one @Pesqueeb!



But shortly after takeoff, several passengers noticed that the aircraft cabin seemed both colder and noisier than usual, according to the report.


Everyone on this planet has an IQ of 1.
IQ is a measurement of statistical distribution.

But yeah, people be dumb.

And this passenger list falls.........


Out of 2 rows stacked three deep, and not even the adjacent rows, not one motherfucker noticed that that window looked, sounded, or felt a little weird. You pick the metric but it all ends in the same conclusion.
Was once on a flight where my window was clearly cracked and leaking air pressure. Condensation started bubbling up between window layers and then eventually froze. I thought there was a risk of it blowing out midflight. But I was returning home from Detroit and I would have rather died than return to Detroit so I never said anything until we landed.

I've had the same thing happen. Right about the time I decided that commercial air travel was treated with all the safety requirements of mcdonalds

however.....

the cabin crew inspected the plane and discovered that two window assemblies — the inner and outer panes and rubber seal — were missing,


Maybe I'm misinterpreting that, but that's just two gaping holes in the fuselage sitting on the runway and not one motherfucker on that plane noticed the breeze

Sitting here in this packed fucking sardine can with 200 other idiots I thought of this thread

With the window shades down it might not be that hard to not notice a missing panel from the passenger point of view…I did open the shades next to me to check for windows.

You can also tell by extraordinary amounts of noise and wind coming from the side of the fuselage.

If noise and wind is coming from a different section of the fuselage you have bigger problems to deal with.

My point was more that sitting on the tarmac one might not notice. Of course once you’re moving it’ll be obvious.

Regardless, it seems my plane was intact.

Quite familiar with a beer funnel, but I don't think they were commercially available back when I was playing with them. These things are also well dangerous.

Takes a smart person to buy a $22 funnel with a sticker on it rather than a $4 funnel and $1 worth of hose from a hardware store.

Because chugging 30oz of 5% beer is definitely better than a dram of 100 proof whiskey.

The horse, which partially escaped its stall while airborne, had to be euthanized due to the extent of its injuries, according to two people familiar with the episode.


If old busted ass eric can drive across the country to do dumb horse tricks WTF are people doing putting those monsters in planes?
Getting there fast?
