What if the front fell off?

Why? They never believe you when there is this weird farking creature thing on the wing tearing up the engine.

Just a minor problem. They'll get over it.

They could use the Japanese style of emergency management. i.e. ignore the problem, work really hard on something else, let the inevitable happen, then clap each other on the back for having samurai spirit under dire circumstances.

Headline makes my head hurt

It is going to be a rough landing whenever you do it, so you might as well get near to your destination, then inform the pilot.

No sense in putting yourself out

Was his name Rick Perry?

Grammer, how does it work?

Amateur. (Youtube new window)

So, let me get this straight:

You see some brown people praying, and you alert the flight crew (new window), but you see a farkING PIECE OF THE PLANE FALL OFF and you say nothing?

sulco: Grammer, how does it work?

Don't fret over grammar just yet, start with spelling.

Wat?

Don't forget the seppuku!

Just a suggestion, but if you see a wheel fall off the plane you are in as it took off it might be a good idea to tell someone

Why? Are they gonna get out and put it back on?

sulco: Grammer, how does it work?

Even...if...you speak with...many...dramatic...pauses!

They were probably waiting for the alcohol cart to come by. It's always best to talk about things like that after you've had a few drinks.

Crosshair: Was Ron White on the plane?

It fell off, It fell the fark off.

Too busy taking pictures with their phones and texting their relatives.

I dont know.. how do you see something under the plane come off? From inside? The only thing I can think of is if the wheel somehow rolled outward and was seen, but still. Sounds like passengers making up shiat to feel important after the incident.

Go tell Coach Paterno right away.

Wanted for questioning:

/we gon' rock it 'til the wheels fall off

There is an image of the missing wheel in the article. The link at the bottom says it was a Flybe Bombardier Q400. The wheels can be easily seen from the passenger cabin.

My recommendation would be to start a tab with the booze cart and invite the flight attendants to a threesome in the galley.

Ah I see now.. thanks!

"consequential damage had allowed the wheel to detach".

Huh?

I can't see any 'Merican newspaper writing that and realistically expecting anyone to understand it.

'mhead asploded

In case of a loss of cabin pressure...

ROOF FLIES OFF!

Why the heck do they return to the original airport when the problem is with the landing gear? Landing gear isn't necessary to fly. Go to your destination and land there. You'll have less fuel on descent and your passengers will be where they're supposed to be.

THE DAMN MOTOR FELL OFF....

I just want to tell you both Good Luck. We're all counting on you.

/35 comments and I'm the Weeners this? Son, I am disappoint.

//Goodnight Dr. Shirley Rumack

Wait... now you're telling me I have to do the pilot's job? It's *his* plane, it's *his* responsibility to get us there safe, if he doesn't already know about it, why am I *paying him* to fly the plane?

The next thing you're going to say is that if the pilot has a heart attack, it's *my* responsibility to fly the plane.

/I'm sorry, just because I have a pilot's license *doesn't* make it my responsibility to land that plane, tell the stupid Airline company to do something about it, *I'm* not on their payroll.
//and if we crash, I'm totally suing them. -I'll get my $200 ticket price back in *full* I guarantee you.

But then you have to have someone go get the wheel. Planes don't carry a spare.

It isn't like someone can get out and change it.

Perhaps the passengers tried to inform them, but the crew couldn't understand their banter.

1. It's really not important that the wheel is missing until you try to land, so there's no need to rush into telling anybody if you've just taken off.

2. I read this as:

The captain returned to Exeter and used the emergency brake and "significant amounts of Dutch rudder" to safely land the plane. No-one was injured.

And it makes just as much sense.
