ladies and gentlemen
our apologies for any unexpected movement after touchdown
we ran over a rabbit
we had to chase it half way through the car park but we got the little bastard in the end
thank you for flying Jet2
WATCH: This is the moment Jet2 Boeing 737-800 (G-JZHE), operating flight EXS4FX from Venice, veered off the runway at Birmingham Airport.
Looking closely, it appears the aircraft was heading off the runway for some time before correcting, but it was too late.
Footage captured via Airport Action livestream.
Link on first comment.
In a shocking development which anyone with the IQ of a rather slow gerbil could have predicted, a decent amount of cash has been immolated in the course of not finding Amelia Earhart's Lockheed Electra where the conspiracy theorists thought it was.
The idiot naïfs who thought they failed to find a tiny island rising 20 feet above the ocean, and consequently ran out of fuel, ditched and sank, have won this one./1

This would be perfect even if "wanna see a dead body?" had not become the go-to for some idiot getting flat-out thagomized on SM.

For a generation that grew up reading 1984, The Lottery, Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451, There Will Come Soft Rains and *gestures to Vonnegut in general* we are pretty bloody useless at recognising, and trying to stop, the end of everything.
Lots of $ has been raised and spent over the decades, but some simple backstory.
- Vanishing without trace was an occupational hazard of long-distance record flying in that era. Mermoz, Kingsford Smith, Nungesser-Coli.
- Charts left in Australia show that navigator Fred Noonan's accuracy was not all that.
- But previous overwater segments of the flight made landfall on charted coasts so that did not matter too much. Flying to Howland Island it mattered a lot.
Because someone's kid possibly not winning an athletic scholarship is equivalent to shutting down NATO and letting Putin grab Ukraine, you bothsidesing fascist-friendly sissyboy bag of shite.
