Anyone got some funny photos to share.
I found this one online. How encouraging would your take off be?
Sorry readers. I removed it after reading a possible reason to explain the picture. Not sure if it is true, but if so, thought it right to remove it due to the context.

| Interesting picture... but the last thing I'd call it would be "funny". |

It isn't funny for those taking off. But that is humourous, at least to me.
If there is a concern for any potential hurt people in the other plane. I doubt (but can't prove) that the plane fell out of the sky and killed many people and landed upside down with no damage to the main body, apart from fire.
I guess it will depend on your sense of humour. |

The first pic looks photoshopped.
In anycase, no jetliner falls out the sky or turns over while still remaining so well intact as that one is. My guess is that its a practise firedrill... |

Origins: This is a genuine photograph depicting the aftermath of Mandarin Airlines Flight 642 from Bangkok to Hong Kong, which crashed upon landing on 22 August 1999. The plane, an MD-11, encountered a 24-knot crosswind coincident with Typhoon Sam and came down too hard on its right side, causing the No. 3 engine to hit the runway and the right wing to separate from the fuselage. The MD-11 rolled over and slid off the runway upside down, bursting into flame and grinding to a halt on a grassy area adjacent to the runway.

So, what is it? Photoshopped or a fire drill? Looks real to me, whether it's a fire drill or not.
Don't know if this will last, but funny? Hell yes!
