No, I shit you not. Someone actually thought this was a good idea. It happened in April of 2021. Let’s watch the video.
“A World War II era plane was forced to land off the coast of Cocoa Beach in Florida after it experienced engine failure on Saturday afternoon,”
Well no shit. I wonder why it would have engine failure. I mean it seems sturdy enough to be able to fly and have zero problems right? This was part of an official air show in the Patrick Space Force Base in Cocoa Beach, Florida. That means someone with actual military influence was behind the decision to take this plane and add it to the show. I don’t know what’s scarier, a military person making that decision, or giving that power to a person who lives in Florida.
So an investigation was started by the FAA to figure out what went wrong. Can it be the fact that someone’s grandpa flew this plane 100 years ago? 🤔 Oh jeez what ever could it be. No, but that’s not the best part. This is.
“They might have to remove the wings to get it out of the water and to the hanger,” Dirato told CNN. Alternately, rescuers may float the plane up on a barge,”
I’m sorry, but as a Cuban that’s fucking hilarious. It needs to become a meme. In Florida EVERYBODY shows up on a boat. Even planes. Next thing you know a helicopter is going to come floating on a raft escaping the tyranny of the FAA and seeking political asylum.
Cheers everyone,
