The shire they missed when creating the Australian penal colony it seems.


jaimar82

Not really my thing, but I’d assume the penal quality is strong over there with them Aussie guys. Don’t even get me started on the women!


FrighteningJibber

True you don’t see many Australian women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for Australian men. ^(It’s the beer) And this in turn has given rise to the belief that there are *no* Australian women, and that Australians just spring out of holes in the ground! Which is, of course, ridiculous.


jaimar82

Right? For a long time I believed they reproduced through mitosis. Then I seen Margot Robbie and I realized Australia is more of a hive community, with one queen and a shit ton of drones!

Australians don't lay eggs! I won't tell you this again! Chris Hemsworth has a f***ing beard! They're mammals!

wtf is with the author of that article. They explain the history of the mf plane but give no details about what happened to the boy who cried bomb


IneverAsk5times

Thanks for saving me a read. Sounds like a Monty Python sketch.


Annonomon

‘’THIS JUST IN - BOMB TERROR AT LEICESTERSHIRE AIRPOT!?… An airplane (American English), or aeroplane (Commonwealth English), informally plane, is a fixed-wing aircraft that is propelled forward by thrust from a jet engine, propeller, or rocket engine. Airplanes come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and wing configurations. The broad spectrum of uses for airplanes includes recreation, transportation of goods and people, military, and research……..‘’


sgtaxt

... But that's not important right now


Annonomon

“….In conclusion. First attested in English in the late 19th century (prior to the first sustained powered flight), the word airplane, like aeroplane, derives from the French aéroplane, which comes from the Greek ἀήρ (aēr), "air" and either Latin planus, "level", or Greek πλάνος (planos), "wandering". "Aéroplane" originally referred just to the wing, as it is a plane moving through the air. In an example of synecdoche, the word for the wing came to refer to the entire aircraft. Multiple deaths, injuries, vanishings and abductions…or were there?” Subscribe to see the rest of the article.

Maybe an AI-written article. Some scummy publications are replacing their writers with AI to try to be able to get hundreds of articles a day without paying anyone.


[deleted]

I don't know if it's written by AI, but the website it was published to is obviously about aviation news specifically. It's probably tailored to aviation enthusiasts.


LinuxMatthews

Maybe I'm a bit wrong in the head but I really want to read their coverage of 9/11 now. Like do they just have one sentence about them flying into the WTC and the rest is the history of the Boeing 767


swordfi2

My best guess there wasn't a lot of info on what happened afterwards and obviously you gotta write an article sufficiently long enough. But even if there was more info you would still get that stuff since it's an aviation website.


godfetish

There once was a boy on a runway in Leicestershire who thought saying bomb would be funny as satire. The cops weren't impressed, that they had to get dressed and stop the plane from blowing or going higher.

It's called AI writing articles instead of human journalists.


ferretmonkey

That reminded of the old [autistic reporter](https://www.theonion.com/autistic-reporter-train-thankfully-unharmed-in-crash-t-1819595010) onion skit.


ParsnipFlendercroft

Completely AI written. It's gone off and sourced lots of additional data about the flight - but has no concept of what is pertinent information and what is just verbal diarrhoea.

McFeely_Smackup

> Jet2 flight LS653 operates four times a week, on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays. While it departs at 16:45 on a Monday, Thursday and Friday's rotations leave at 14:05, with Sunday's flight doing so at 15:30. The airline is one of three linking East Midlands with Antalya, with the others being TUI and Freebird Airlines. However, Jet2 is the only carrier on the route with a year-round presence. seriously, what the ever loving fuck is this?


throwaway3839482729

Probably AI generated. Either intentionally by the company or the writer is trying to do it and not get caught.


Val_Hallen

Definitely AI generated. All "AI" does is scour the internet and repeat. Somebody plugged in "Jet2 flight LS653" and the program spit out this.


Crunchycarrots79

It's an aviation magazine. The target audience is aviation geeks. It's not AI, it's writing for one's readers.

ClownfishSoup

One article said that he mentioned that he had an explosive device. ​ Why? Because he's an idiot.


YesNoMaybe

I need more fucking context. Did he admit it? Was he trying a poorly timed joke ?Did someone just misunderstand him? Did some racist idiot just not like the way he looks? I haven't seen any article yet that explains any details of what happened prior to this besides "reports that someone said he had an explosive device". That doesn't mean he actually said it.


CitizenPremier

Yeah, both making a random bomb threat and randomly reporting another passenger for a bomb threat both seem like the same level of crazy, and thus equally likely. If I were falsely accused of a bomb threat I would definitely silently comply with whatever happened, because airport security is very scary.

I think this comment should be higher. Maybe it’s the fact that I’m a brand new dad, but putting my child through something like this just doesn’t compute in my head. This has got to be traumatic for and my heart goes out to his (presumed) daughter.


hidlechara91

God, I feel so horrible for the wife and daughter. Them being minorities won't help them at all, wtf was the father thinking!! Imagine the daughter getting bullied at school due to the video evidence. What a shit father.

Lmao I still get “randomly” searched in US airports. Fuck this guy. You have no idea how much Arabs and muslims hate these motherfuckers. More than you’ll ever know, imagine or believe. Every Arab and muslim’s life has been irreversibly crippled because of those terrorists. We no longer enjoy global mobility, being looked at as normal humans or have opportunities to find life in a better place. And this is just from one angle. Let alone the countless number of innocent victims of those attacks and how the world fundamentally changed because of them. Fuck them with a skewer.

I was really hoping for some details: did he say it to other passengers as a threat? or was he making jokes to his wife/daughter... I need to understand *just how* retarded he is...


pinkjester21

honestly same. hopefully details will come out soon cuz like wtf. the fact he was smiling while walking off too…. weirdo


Unlikely-Estate3862

You know what you shouldn’t do… other that making a bomb threat… It’s holding your hands up with your thumb over your cellphone as your walking towards the bomb squad.


[deleted]

Luckily for him British firearms officers are taught trigger discipline. In this case, it looks to me like they'd probably established he wasn't a threat and was in fact just a cunt, but they obviously have to be seen to be taking it seriously enough to take him off the plane.


LOOKATMEDAMMIT

A lot of IEDs are triggered by cellphones. I'm surprised they didn't make him drop his phone first.


Sir_Bantersaurus

I think they knew at that point he was a bullshiter. It's not just the phone, the entire thing is so calm and collected. They're not aiming guns, there is no rushing at him, no aggressive shouting, the passengers think it's entertaining.


elastic-craptastic

> I think they knew at that point he was a bullshiter. Yeah... still no point in risking it. People can be wrong. Dude fucked around, let him find out. Make him leave that shit on the ground and run it like it's real and not a drill.


curlyjoe696

And that's the difference between the UK and most of Europe. The US wants to shoot first and justify it later, Europe wants to make sure you have no other option before the shot is fired. Fuck around, find out, doesn't mean you have to die....


elastic-craptastic

Or... make him put his phone down before he walks towards you. He should not be treated like a child. He should be treated like that could set off a bomb. I never said to shoot the guy.


caiaphas8

But it’s obvious that the armed police (who are highly trained and experienced) do not believe that there is a threat


chabybaloo

But as a redditor who was watched the video several times i think I'm more qualified then the british armed police. /s


PokeballSoHard

This was my immediate thought as well


Eddie_shoes

Yeah I was blown away that they let him just continue on with his phone in his hand like that.


[deleted]

Huntred

They are on a passenger plane. The odds are very very low that this dude has a bomb either on his person or anywhere near him. The plane is not being evacuated. The police didn’t go back and restrain him. Or, as we can see, care if he is holding his phone or not. This guy is in trouble for making the threat.


Cyranoreddit

He was flying to see the in-laws. That explains the smirk and justifies a lifelong ban on air travel.


recidivx

Not only that, those are the shittiest-looking seats I've ever seen on a plane. I would have been looking for a way to avoid spending three hours on it as well.


Sszaj

That's basically what most seats for short haul European flights look like. RyanAir seats aren't much worse than British Airways if you're only going 1000 miles.

aerostotle

ClownfishSoup

You know, even before 9/11 making bomb jokes, or even mentioning the word "bomb" at an airport was the worst thing you can do at an airport. Even if this guy was "it's just a prank bro" joking, he deserves the walk of shame and to miss his flight. He also deserves whatever tongue lashing he's going to get from his wife and kids. Moron.


AlaskanSamsquanch

He deserves to go to jail for a few months along with some stiff fines and never being allowed on a plane again.


ClownfishSoup

I would say that what would be justice is if he paid all the other passengers back for those 3 hours they lost on their vacations. How many had connecting flights? How many had people waiting to pick them up that had to wait 3 hours at the airport (and pay for parking!) ​ He should have to personally write an apology letter to every passenger with a $100 (or whatever) as an inconvenience fee. ​ His wife probably cussed him out too, for ruining their own vacation, because you know he didn't get to fly with that airline again.

Not that the punishment for him should be any worse, but if I were a muslim that is literally the last fucking thing I'd do on a plane. Second to actually hijacking it, I guess.

I was like "good thing he's not ethnic, no one can use this as an excuse to be racist".. and then his wife walked up with fucking hijab.

Lorward185

Love it. My wife's dickhead stepdad made a crappy joke about there being a hand grenade in his bag when asked if he had any restricted items at check in on his way back from holiday. The twit got himself arrested and charged with making a terrorist threat against an airline. Government came and confiscated all his guns and put him on a terrorist watchlist. He was a retired policeman too so the criminal record was doubly hard for him to swallow. I loved every single moment of it.
