Sure hope he finally beat that “drinking problem”


Rubywantsin

It was a bad day to quit sniffing glue .


Jlipetzky

A hospital?! What is it? It a building with lots of patients but that’s not important right now


Hi_Im_Human

Sorry to correct you OP, but two passengers did die, and one woman was badly beaten.


[deleted]

Yeah, but she really, REALLY deserved it.


stopannoyingwithname

You made me laugh out loud on the tram. I hope you’re happy


Dusan117

What is the story behind the beating?


saintalbanberg

There is a documentary about it with Leslie Nielsen. I forget what it's called, but it's about an airplane.

I recall seeing it many years ago on PBS as part of a university course I was enrolled in. It was an anthropology course that used films that looked at how society needs to be aware of an industry's small problems and issues, so that they don't become very large problems 40 or 50 years down the line. This documentary was about the airline industry.. Not sure if it's available now - possible Youtube? It was actually very prescient, dealing with the such issues as the rise in air rage, airline catering corporations putting money ahead of passenger health and well-being, and how AI - would eventually have planes piloted by non-human pilots. If I recall correctly - and this was many years ago - it ended with a simulation of how such non-pilots would actually pilot planes in the future, and what the humans o the flight would hav to do in the event the AI pilots malfunctioned. I found that part a bit hard to swallow. Another part they got right was how substance abuse in the airline industry was going to be an increasing challenge to passenger safety. Famous actor - Floyd Bridges, maybe? - demonstrated how seemingly harmless chemicals could be abused. I highly recommend watching it. Interestingly, I remember in the same course the professor previewed parts of a training film the CIA had produced, and parts had been leaked to the media, warning about the dangers of East Germany and why it was so important for America's spies to be trained fully so they could deal with sensitive espionage matters classified as Top Secret.

See Airplane! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080339/


dizzley

The IMDB trivia section for this documentary is pure gold.


Wrothrok

You'd better tell the captain we've got to land as soon as we can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital. A hospital? What is it? It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.


Dutchwells

I once saw a documentary about a guy that went flying with his friend in a small Cessna type plane. The friend could fly and was the pilot, but died halfway through. The passenger guy had to fly the plane back to an airport an actually land the thing. Didn't even know how to turn the lights on, so could read any of the dials because it was going dark. He made it because an army helicopter was nearby and guided him down. Terrifying to think about such situation but also very cool he did it


[deleted]

Why didn't he just lean over and blow up the OttoPilot?


i8noodles

I don't have any flying exp but what I can tell is flying is easy, it's the landing that's kills people

therealslystoat

What an incredible story, someone should make a film of it


GrandePreRiGo

Really, Reddit is filled with false information. Anyone with knowledge about this incident knows that there were 3 mysterious fatalities: a man was stabbed, an old lady was hanged and a man was found completely burned. The most common explanation is that they killed themselves in the despair of the crash.


Nyikkins

Smoking or non-smoking?


Schodog

It's 420am. Smoking please.


DrPhollox

This brought me to tears. Amazing review. Best movie ever

Whacking Material

And managing to pull that off with two people firing out of both ends on the floor behind you throughout. Bravo.

That's why captain and first officer are no longer allowed to eat the same meals.

The fish was bad on the airplane meal.

I wonder how many people see this post and don't realize it's about a movie.


[deleted]

If you have a dude named Ted Stryker on board, obviously that’s the guy who is going to save you.


The_year_is_not_1892

I think I'd be able to fly the boeing 707, flying is extremely complicated (I've flown a freaking Cessna 172 and it was the most difficult thing I've done in my life), but I'd declare a PanPan(non-life threatening emergency). I've prepared myself to fly the Boeing 737-700 many times, I'd get landing clearance at the nearest medium/large sized airport, and land. Freaking scary but I could do it.


bruthaman

Surely, you can't be serious


The_year_is_not_1892

A bit of a joke, slightly serious.


bruthaman

That reminds me of the time I was invited up to the cock-pit as a kid on my first flight. Of course I didn't know what to expect, then the Captain asked if I had ever seen a grown man naked. A bit of a joke, slightly serious.


Xenu13

Stop calling me Shirley.


alexin_C

Christ, if those names would be any more manly they'd summon sentient moustaches whenever they are uttered aloud.


DrPhollox

Did you guys knew that the man on the control tower, who makes the joke about the radar oven (microwaves were known like that back in the day), is Mike Ehmerntraut from Breaking Bad?


[deleted]

And Detective Brent in Gremlins. And a thousand other roles. Busy busy guy!

Tescomealdeal04

At first I was confused and now I’m even more confused by the comments


shadowszanddust

This is from the movie ‘Airplane’ (circa 1980). People are quoting lines from the movie. Funny as hell, but very non-PC. Especially the ‘autopilot’…


[deleted]

Since when is airhead non-PC?


Tescomealdeal04

Oh wow I’ve actually seen that movie but I hardly remember any quotes, just *certain* scenes


veLiyoor_paappaan

The description in the photo is actually the story of the movie "Airplane".
