@xyla so this is what happens if airports cheap out on hydrations for planes ​
@xyla it needs to replenish its electrolytes
@xyla The design on the tail reminds me of the logo of a hydro power company I worked for, so this makes a lot of sense to me. I'm just not sure where the power cables are connected.
@xyla the evacuation slide that takes you straight to the rocks!
@omvargas @xyla that was my first thought. The exit was probably worse than the "crash."
@xyla The accident report, for the aviation nerds among us: https://www.baaa-acro.com/crash/crash-embraer-erj-190-100-igw-santa-marta

@xyla Remember not to make it fly immediately after, it would risk a twisted stomach !
@xyla Of course it's a Boing plane
@lanodan it's trying to have water it didn't pay for, call that the yoink plane
@lanodan @xyla nope, sombody posted the report.

@xyla this isn't funny, airplanes only do this when they are in huge distress!

@sophieschmieg @xyla

This one is very thirsty.

@rk @sophieschmieg @xyla The Very Thirsty Airplane sounds like a kids bedtime book :)

@ferrix @sophieschmieg @xyla

Let’s make this happen. It can teach important lessons on institutional safety practices.

…I’m only half joking.

@xyla love that slide like "enjoy being evacuated directly onto this rocky shoal hope your back is ok 😈😈"
@xyla bites the plane in the ass while it's distracted by the water
@xyla “dude you are not allowed to park here”
@xyla why is this so funny? It's so dumb. love it  😂
@monkee welcome to my profile

@xyla @monkee

A pipe bomb is an improvised explosive device that uses a tightly sealed section of pipe filled with an explosive material. The containment provided by the pipe means that simple low explosives can be used to produce a relatively large explosion due to the containment causing increased pressure. The fragmentation of the pipe itself creates potentially lethal shrapnel. Premature detonation is a hazard of attempting to construct any homemade bomb. The materials and methods used with pipe bombs often result in unintentional detonation, usually resulting in serious injury or death to the assembler. In many countries, the manufacture or possession of a pipe bomb is a serious crime, regardless of its intended use.

@monkee @xyla had to switch accounts . Damn you Mastodon Character Limit! 😂
@xyla *owner arrives to help because plane can't push itself back*
@xyla You may think this is funny, but planes only do this when they’re extremely thirsty!
Continental Airlines - Wikipedia

@_the_cloud @xyla it's a mildly interesting history. In the late 90s, Copa Airlines formed a partnership with Continental and basically borrowed the brand with some changes. Copa then acquired AeroRepública (plane pictured), which also acquired the branding.

Why Are Copa & United's Liveries So Similar?

Have you ever noticed the resemblance between the two paint schemes?

@_the_cloud @xyla i thought the same thing. i really liked continental!
@xyla This made me laugh way too much
@xyla i'm surprised it's not spirit airlines
@xyla everybody’s like “drink more water” but then everybody’s like “ohhhh noooo not like that!”
@xyla is this based on a current event?
@wyatt i posted it because i found it online and thought it was funny, i have no clue what that could mean >:3
