I'm sure it happened JUST like they reported it...

 

[derriko]

That was the most uninformed article I have ever read...

 

[Luigi]

Surprisingly terrible. Do they have fact checkers?

 

[Luigi]

Probably a mistake for me to look it up....I would hate to be the guy who challenges the almighty NY Post, but if they held for 3 hours why was actual air only 3:15

?

That was the most uninformed article I have ever read...

...when is any aviation article by the news informed? (CNN reports that an airplane will struggle to stay aloft when it runs out of fuel. As if any person with common sense can't figure that out on their own.) Accuracy? What accuracy?!

Complete click-bait garbage. There is nothing news-worthy about this.

"Struggle to stay aloft"? Ummm.. I don't think it's much of a struggle... More like it would completely fail to do so...


Jesus wept...

Clickbait is the way of the world, unfortunately.

Bonnie and friends must have been drinking wine on the airplane, which threw off their depth perception and concept of time.

A Southwest plane came in for a landing. What happened next is unbelievable!

 

[derg]

"Airlines hate this one simple trick for cheap airfares"

 

[derg]

"12 year old BLASTS United"

Wait.. Nevermind, that actually happened.

Come on Derg, self promotion sucks!

The NY Post is the New York equivalent to the UK Daily Mail tabloid.

The NY Post is the New York equivalent to the UK Daily Mail tabloid.

That's a really good point. It's not like this is real newspaper.

"Hot, single airlines in a neighborhood near you."

 

[747Dispatcher]

this is as informative as the movie "Flight"

 

[manniax]

this is as informative as the movie "Flight"

Or "Die Hard 2: Die Harder"

 

[Burrito]

Or "Die Hard 2: Die Harder"

Easy now, that movie's amazing. God forbid I overfueled - In my years of fueling I have *yet* to figure out where that fuel dump lever is on these damned jet engines!

FAR Part 91? More like FAR Part 6-I'll see myself out.
