[News] Man tries to blow up plane. Fails.

Bozza · Feb 3, 2016

Blimey. You'd consider this one of your nine lives used up.

A burning man was reportedly sucked out of a hole in a plane apparently caused by a bomb, forcing the aircraft to make an emergency landing in Mogadishu on Tuesday.

An explosion and fire blew a gaping hole in the commercial airliner, with the pilot later saying he thought it was a bomb.

An aviation expert who looked at photographs of the hole in the fuselage said the damage was consistent with an explosive device.

There were reports that an unidentified elderly man, engulfed in flames, was sucked out of the hole in the fuselage of Flight D3159.

"Thank god it ended well," the 64-year-old pilot said.

I hate it when they say that. BLOWN out, you are blown out by the change in pressure suddenly trying to equalise.

Seems the bench mark has been set pretty high already for the Darwin award this year,

Can honestly say that has never bothered me and I have never twigged.

However, now that you have mentioned it, I am sure it will wind me up almost as much as 'for free'

Lets hope the burning man sucked out was the Bomber..

9:52 and my "you learn something every day" has been accounted for already. Thanks!

Sucked. Blown.

Looks more like Speedy Gonzalez was late for his flight.

The passengers seem pretty calm all things considered.

Megazone · Feb 3, 2016

I think it's fair to say, all the passengers would've have chosen their underwear over using the toilet with a big hole like that in the plane.

EXACTLY what I was thinking. A guy has tried to blow the plane up, the masks are down, there is a hole in the side of the plane and they are sat there looking pretty calm (I haven;t got the sound on as at work so the place could be going mental but doesn't look like it)

You're a grown man (I assume) and you've only just learned there's a difference between being sucked and being blown? There's a thing.

Not for the bloke BLOWN out it didn't!

So you're on a plane, somebody tries to blow it up, then the aircraft ends up with a huge hole in the fuselage.

And then you're told you've got to land in Mogadishu, of all places.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse...

Presumably it's like when a car window gets taken out - they stopped, patched it up with some plastic and strong black tape and were soon on their way again?

Shame they weren't in landscape mode though, when will people ever learn.
