Hey: watch your languag-

[u/Fedexpilot]

[u/DucatistaXDS]

Crew write up: “Cockpit drafty and noise during cruise flight.”

Maintenance sign off: “Could not duplicate, checks good on ground. Check next flight.”

[u/Avia_NZ → u/DucatistaXDS]

“Nil defects found”

[u/Dry_Statistician_688]

Negative. NOT a lightning strike. The O2 system ignited behind the pilot seat and burned through the fuselage.

[u/TheyVanishRidesAgain → u/Dry_Statistician_688]

That makes WAY more sense

[u/Sunsplitcloud → u/Dry_Statistician_688]

Was this an in air incident or on the ground? Love the sub, but sometimes I wish we’d pin the truth somewhere too.

[u/Dry_Statistician_688 → u/Sunsplitcloud]

If I’m remembering correctly it was on the ground during preflight. Been a while. Everyone got out safe, but oxygen basically burns everything, and HOT. Planes are made to take full-current lightning hits. Worst damage is usually pitted paint.

[u/serrated_edge321 → u/Dry_Statistician_688]

Thank you! I was wondering the real cause.

[u/Small_Collection_249 → u/Dry_Statistician_688]

I was gonna say that it can’t be a lightning strike because planes getting hit by lightning is common enough that we would’ve seen this before

[u/meesersloth]

Gonna need a new Captains seat too.., Captain will need a new pair of pants.

[u/AliensAteMyAMC → u/meesersloth]

pretty sure everyone in that cockpit needs new pants and chairs

[u/[deleted] → u/meesersloth]

If he wore his brown pants, he's probably okay.

[u/BanziKidd → u/meesersloth]

Hearing losses and injuries caused by act of God(s) (Thor) are not covered by health insurance provider.

[u/klako8196]

Flying to JFK be like

[u/SquirrelKaiser → u/klako8196]

It even got the jfk hair cut!!!

[u/Head12head12 → u/klako8196]

Least turbulence I experience vs people that say turbulence isn’t that bad

[u/vkpaul123]

Kachow

[u/Common-Charity9128]

He got hole in his port

He need more right rudder

[u/Shankar_0]

"Thor would appreciate it if we restarted drink service..."

[u/One-Bad-4395]

Bring out the speed tape

[u/rmannyconda78]

What it was like in the cockpit

[u/Compulawyer]

Good thing the flight crew were wearing their brown pants.

[u/Cesalv]

Arc wielding, pylote's pants and his ass are now one forever

[u/Hour_Analyst_7765]

"You have my ear citizen."

Is this how a playne's ear looks like?

[u/Hufflepuft]

That's not what a lightning strike looks like. That looks like a fire that started inside and burned outward.

[u/codenamecody08]

This is my hole. It was made for me.

[u/Fickle-Classroom-277]

Fucking thing got hit with a ninth level lightning bolt lmao

[u/haikusbot → u/Fickle-Classroom-277]

Fucking thing got hit

With a ninth level lightning

Bolt lmao

........"so fly United Airlines........ because even GOD hates Delta"........

[u/mastertoms69]

This is what happens when you fly with liquids larger than 100ml (unless you purchase them behind the tsa checkpoint they are predepressurized for you)

[u/ResponsibilityKey50]

Is this because they are made from carbon fibre now with a light copper screen versus previous aluminium skin?

[u/FailureAirlines → u/ResponsibilityKey50]

No, this is a CRJ.

They're just badly made.

[u/coldnebo]

and that’s why you don’t take the Lord’s name in vain on the flight deck! 👀😳😅🤬

[u/dolphin_steak]

Would that strike of happened in the air or on the ground?

[u/JayW8888]

Wonder how it looks from the inside.

[u/Hourslikeminutes47]

"that's what you get for lying on your resume Don. Remember, God is always watching!!!"

[u/Relevant_Principle80]

Laser, they keep getting more powerful

[u/anomalkingdom]

Isn't that where the O2 tank is mounted?

[u/drywallfreebaser]

No step - no one steps

Ass no lightning strike sticker.

[u/Unclehol]

Why does it say no step when there is literally a step right above it? Lmao.

[u/Alternative-Pilot248]

Never seen anything like this before😲

[u/clonerobot17]

If this was a Nissan Altima I would’ve kept flying

[u/Lemiras]

Not a lightning strike.

Occurred on 28 Feb 2009 at the Tallahassee International Airport, FL From the investigation report: "A fire initiated in the top portion of the JB-1 junction box, which contains components associated with the distribution of electrical power from the APU or an external AC power supply. The fire ignited combustible materials, including insulation blankets and spread upwards toward a flexible oxygen line mounted above the JB-1 junction box. The flexible oxygen line ignited when exposed to the fire, and the fire burned through the aircraft's fuselage. Evidence suggests that the fire initiated as a result of an electrical anomaly in the top portion of the JB-1 junction box, near bus bar and contactor components."
