    first

  3. Swedish guy says:

    OMFG, I’d shit my pants. Total fail.

  4. Wurstwasser says:

    made in China Fail :)

  5. J-Dogg says:

    Dang. Closest I’ve gotten to first.

  6. Ella says:

    Ehrk…that could not have been fun for those who were on that plane…nor for the people that lived where that part must have fallen down…ouchies…

    • Jman says:

      Yeah, whoever was sitting in that seat is supposed to say “Excuse me stewardess, but theres something wrong with that engine on the wing!!”

  7. hallasauce says:

    ummm… fake?? no WING??

    • Minger says:

      Jet engine is projecting forward on it’s mounting. This is a pretty famous pic, but I forget what aircraft it is from. I think and older one.

    • Dark says:

      Is your brain in your skull or in a pickle-jar?

    • Aviation-Guy says:

      ever heard of swept back wings? picture is no Fake, real incident happend, Aircraft Type was an Airbus A320

    • Anonymous says:

      no its real. it happened to me once. scared the sh!t outta me.

  8. Peep says:

    Dang, that’s one f@cked up fail, especially taking into account my fear of flying 0_o

  9. curropar says:

    Not a real fail, as the image as arrived here. So the camera didn’t crash, so the plain didn’t crash, the guy who took the photo didn’t crash, and was able to arrive safely at home, save the photo to his computer, and then upload it…

    Real win of security in aviation… Even if the maintenance is not the appropiate!!!

  10. DeathByBattleaxe says:

    Doubt it. On the later Boeing 7-series, the nacelles are slightly ahead of the wing, so you wouldn’t be able to see them in this picture.

  11. Sara says:

    Is it a fail if you see your employer advertising on failblog?

  12. yerkiddin says:

    No Wing? LOL. Never looked at an airplane I see.

  13. no opinion says:

    I think that’s from the Worth1000 “vacation bloopers” photoshop contest.

  14. grond says:

    Air cooling win…

  15. bode says:

    It’s not a fake picture, and it wasn’t a catastrophic FAIL. The pilot declared an emergency, turned around, and landed without further incident. If this were a real aviation FAIL, the picture would have been destroyed in the crash. If anything, that this was not-a-FAIL should make you comfortable flying.

    Here’s the NTSB report on the incident:

    • DeFlora says:

      “The captain felt the airplane “shutter,”"

      That explains at least one that airline’s problems. Their planes have shutters.

  16. TheMan says:

    Oh dear God! I am pretty sure if that was my seat I would have personally pood my pants!

  17. damnedgamer says:

    much more quality of photo fail!!

  18. teh_pwnage says:

    lol looks like one of those starwars racers

  19. portorikan says:

    Hell no.. I would’ve freaked out on that one.

  20. Christine says:

    oh sheetttt…
    made in china indeed!

    A plane left London to take people to Los Angeles. About an hour after take-off, the pilot says on the intercom “I’m sorry, but one of our engines has stopped working. We’ll be fine, but our journey will take another hour. I apologise for the delay”.
    Two hours later, the people inside heard a noise outside. Then on came the intercom… “I’m sorry, another engine has failed but we can still run on two engines. The journey will take another two hours, I apologise for the delay.”.
    The intercom came on again after a few peaceful hours. “We appear to have lost another engine…” The pilot sounded slightly worried. “We are still able to fly with a single engine, but we will be able to make it to America. It will delay us by three hours, I apologise for the delay.”.
    One of the chavs on the plane turned to his girlfriend and said (in garbled English) “Hey, if we lose one more engine we’ll be up here all day!”.

    • Keelhaul says:

      And that was “Shecky” Mc Gillis everybody!!!!!!Now, stay in your seat here comes the greatest ventriloquist around……Arnie Hootenanny and his pal “Beans Mc Coy”!!!!

  22. raven says:

    okay. That is FAIL. I don’t care if you get to the ground or not – no, wait, I do care.

    i love the NTSB report. Hmm… I don’t remember if I latched the cover closed or not…

  23. DaManRando says:

    Ehh… at least the engine is still on the wing and not in someone’s backyard…. thats happened too as I recall…

  24. Smart dude says:

    http://ntsb.gov/ntsb/GenPDF.asp?id=ATL04IA156&rpt=fi

    ^^^
    That r teh fail. In the report it says the plane was a A320 or an A321.
    The engines don’t look like that. They aren’t mounted forward of the wing. They’re mounted under the wing. Duh!

  25. Joolz says:

    Please, God, never let me see something like that in person.
    Please, God, never let me see something like that in person.
    Please, God, never let me see something like that in person.
    Please, God, never let me see something like that in person.
    Please, God, never let me see something like that in person.

    Amen.

  26. wolfor says:

    OMG!! I always thought the interior of a Jet engine must look pretty fascinating… But definitely NOT at 15000 something feet.

  27. F3nNec says:

    Oceanic Flight 815 l0l xD

  28. wojar says:

    so fake

  29. NorthAveBoy says:

    And you wonder where the “Discount” carriers take that extra ticket cost from?

    Important maintenance.

    Enjoy your AirTrash flight.

  30. Crypto-Askarian says:

    Mhm, nice! That’s another reason not to enter a plane!

  31. California Dave says:

    (cue Twilight Zone theme)

    Was the picture taken by William Shatner?

    • taber_man says:

      “There was a gremlin on the wing! I swear!!”

      I was hoping someone would make a Twilight Zone reference XD

  32. Ian Lozada says:

    Black Box WIN!

  33. Pagill says:

    That musta been a punk to get down, I’m studying engineering now in university and the change in weight and aerodynamics must have made landing that REALLY fun. Also, reading the NTSB report makes me cringe a bit. Anyone remember the DC-10′s whose doors wouldn’t close properly and would cause catastrophic decompression during flight? Or how about the plane whose engine was torn off the wing at takeoff, flipped over the wing, crashed into the runway, and caused the plane to tilt to the left and crash about 30 seconds into takeoff, nearly wiping out a trailer park full of people? Was especially fun when they went back over emergency procedure protocol and found not only that the emergency actions the pilots were told to take didn’t help the plane, but that the power for the sensors and controls they needed to successfully attempt said emergency procedures were supposed to be supplied by the missing engine.
    The airline industry has a LOT of fail in it. But it’s like, one fail in every 75,000 flights, and some fails, like this one, aren’t necessarily catastrophic loss of life fails. Where as there are deadly car fails every day. Or the not-so-fails, like the truck that dumped Oreos on the interstate!

  34. rock says:

    Looks like a reverser tried to delpoy in flight? Not good at all. I’d be trying to screw all the passengers around me at this point.

  35. RYANAIR OF COURSE!

    first

    fly me, crash me, rape me like u raped that dead baby!

    If I saw this it would be BOWELS FAIL.

  43. Wow, their hands weren’t even shaking when they took that pic! Photographer win!

  44. Captain Obvious says:

    Turbulence WIN!

  45. Stankevitch says:

    That is an Airbus A320 family plane, using the IAE engines which are more forward-swept than the CFM ones which are under the wings.

    Knowledge Fail! above for all…

  46. Bear says:

    I wonder why the engine temp light went out?

  47. Krak says:

    Theres, something on the wing, its, eating the motor….

  48. Kyle says:

    That’s what the shades on the windows are for…

  49. Fumbe says:

  50. FacialTurd says:

    steampunk win.
    no, jetpunk.

  54. OTis says:

    OMG I’d freak the hell out if i saw that!

  55. matt says:

    Don’t search on google how a jet engine works because it’s much more complex than that.

  56. _cancel says:

    Quantas??

  57. CHugh says:

    I think this should be a WIN because the engine is cooling.

  58. sumone says:

    That would scare the hell out of me!!!!

  59. creepypants says:
