    They gotta come down sometime.

    Hmm… This is probably the reason I’m scared of flying… Who knows if the plane might crash into an escalator…

  10. Fielding Goodney says:

    Was Kevin Costner on board? Hes in another ad for Turkish arlines and i havent seen him in any movie lately…

  11. Mike says:

    come on, this is just a marketing mistake! you can’t blame the airline company for that.

  12. bla bla says:

    it must be a photoshop triky… cause turkish airlines is realy perfect.

  13. roosdesnaeck says:

    This actually sucks, because Turkish Airlines is known in Europe mostly because of two notorious plane crashes…

    • Erdem says:

      is it a big fail?
      people made a film about a plane crash and named it “Lost” and you are watching it for 6 years!!!
      shake and wake up!!!

  14. Nothing good for says:

    Last year Turkish Airlines crashed near Amsterdam…
    Is this a Dutch add???

    • the real deal says:

      in the official crsuh report of dutch flight inspection, the blame of that flight was directed to the boeing firm… there was an extreme fog in the air without any possiblity to land the plane by just looking out to the window of the cockpit. and the electronical landing device which is a default boeing was faulty and it was the accident of boeing and its technical service. the herous pilots saved almost all the passangers with an emergency flight, without tyres. only the cabin crew and 3-4 passangers were dead. in the front row of the cabine.

      • beauheem says:

        fail plane goes ‘boom’,
        rubber plane goes ‘boeing’

        Had it been a Russian flight-machine, they’d call it yet another flot by Aeroplot

      • d-range says:

        Yes, and the official investigation report also brought to light that the altimeter had failed 2 times before in the last 25 hours, that the pilots still decided to use the autoland, and that they didn’t notice they were stalling until it was too late. It’s not that when the altimeter fails all other instuments are also useless or that you cannot fly the plane anymore. Also, it’s not as if almost every airline in the world flies these planes, which all have the same altimeter problem.

        It’s a gigantic fail in my book. The fact that Boeing now gets the full blame does not mean the pilots didn’t fail, and definitely not that they are heroes. For one, many airlines stopped doing autolands with bad visibility months before altogether, because incidents had been reported with the altimeters.

        • helebek says:

          The latest investigation results cleared the pilots. It was not a piloting issue. I think the reports released last month.

    Where are the two buildings?

  20. scrapheapchallenge says:

    sounds about right for THY (Turk Hava Yollari/Turkish airlines), I used to live in Turkey for a number of years, and their fleet (at least then, not sure about now) was entirely composed of second and third hand planes. This was pre 9-11 when rules were still relaxed and as an aviation-mad teenager I frequently used to ask to go visit the cockpit and chat with the pilots, and most on our regular routes got to know me pretty well. Many of the planes woul have the red’n'white livery painted on the outside, but because of budget constraints, the interior would be composed of a mixture of seats from old British Airways and Lufthansa aircraft!

    I remember getting on board a THY aircraft from London Heathrow to Istanbul, and noticing that one of the engines sounded *really* rough. Later on when I got to go up to the cockpit I thought about asking the (elderley English) pilot about it, but before I could he proudly told me that this was (at the time) the youngest plane in the fleet, at only 27 years old. He was so proud of it bless him that I couldn’t bear to mention any of it’s flaws lol.

    • ozzymuzzy says:

      Don’t worry. It’s changed a lot since then. Now they are one of the best airlines in Europe and maybe in the world.

    • Veronique says:

      No that is way too old. See the link somewhere above, even the Boeing that crashed in Schiphol is 2002 made.

    • vedatkonyali says:

      unfair misleading, full bias words. THY has one of the youngest fleets in the world. Service quality is well above any well known airlines like Lufthansa, DELTA, KLM, BA…

      All above written (exluding some friends), The bottom line of your comments is your past injuries from Turks, and their success in the history. Look your historic failures, and your mistakes for the humanity. Tear misleading sources just search for the reality which intentionaly blanked with the christian community.

      But it will be better for your personality to know what makes you to write these so silly words. Keep your time for more valuable works.

  21. Dargus says:

    The pilot is a hero. He or she managed to narrowly dodge the man in the white shirt.

  22. jono bebe says:

    this looks like ION Orchard in Singapore. and oh yea that’s my fav shop zara:)

    • Mibz says:

      yea but i went to ION recently and i don’t remember this advertisement.
      then again it’s not like i go around looking for plane crashes on the escalators

    hey guys, even better, it sais turkish airlines: and in holland ( my country) there was a plane crash with turkish airlines and every1 still talks bout it.

  29. Hidde says:

    Very funny because last year a plane from Turkish Airlines crashed in the Netherlands :P

  30. Say g'night, Gracie says:

    Pull up! Pull up!
    *CRASH!*

    Too late.
  31. Husnu says:

    for those super jerks who still don’t heard the real fact behind the amsterdam crash;

    ok, this is from the official report: the fault altimeter caused this crash. basically a software bug and it’s boeing’s fault. just check wiki

  32. Jacky says:

    a nice joke :) Turkish Airlines is best Barcelona Football Club’s (offical supporter)

  33. Mibz says:

    Plane Captain: And on your left you will be able to see ‘ZARA’. If you’re interested in shoppi…OMG THERES A MAN BELOW MY PLANE
    *plane crashes*
    *a turkey appears and walks off the escalator*
    Plane Captain: And we have just reached our destination, the first floor. We hope to see you again and please join us on thanks giving where we will have a limited time offer…

  34. Tizzle says:

    Does anyone feel an epic Lost style adventure coming on for the Turks?

  37. Matt says:

    WAIT!!!
    where is this??
    i think i know the place.
    where is this?

  38. Lars says:

    We couldn’t do anything about it!
    The altimeter was broken!

  39. Jinpachi says:

    well, at least its accurate

    hey men!
    what’s ur problem?
    it’s all fake
    all jealous, jackass corps do that !

  46. adson says:

    Because THY started to expand the company with pleading advertisements such as sponsoring to Barcelona Football team it is not surprising to see such attemtps of defilement

  47. Veronique says:

    The ad is an epic fail. But no need for flaming against the company. Just go to wikipedia, check the number of accidents for, say, last 20 years. Compare it with “better” airlines. You will see THY has the least number of accidents almost in every case. I go between Nice/France and Istanbul/Turkey a lot. THY is way better than Air France — and I am French.

  48. caka says:

    yeah its good to see people who can turn an epic fail into epic fascism.

  49. tamaya says:

    didn’t a Turkish airlines plane crash recently?

  50. Tahir says:

    5 crashes since 1980.

    1 on a repositioning flight without any passengers.

    1 (the recent crash at Schiphol, Amsterdam) partly because of Boeing’s fault.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_airlines

  51. gokhan says:

    you guys amuse me by discussing turkey’s and turkish people’s past and present over a stupid ad. Here is a funnier story from THY: a camel is slaughtered on an apron in istanbul airport for a reason that I forgot. Sounds like THY management could use some help.

    I took this photo a couple of months ago in Muscat City Centre in the Sultanate of Oman. When people use other peoples work it is only polite to credit then with it

  57. I KNOW THAT one! I’ve seen it! Heck, I even LOLed at it!

  58. t-j says:

    This is just an ad. fail, nobody can make associations between the safety or other services of THY and this dumb ad. Because -as everybody knows- “Turkish Airlines is one of the best airlines in the world”.

  59. HAHAHAHA!!! LOL !! OMG!
    hahaha

  60. Mike Litoris says:

    It is funny our friends from Holland are making fun about Turkish Airlines accident in Amsterdam (which only killed 9 people), when Holland KLM has the world record for the deadliest accidents ever happened (killing 583 people) due to pilots fault.

    So please, before making fun of others, step back and look at your own history.

  61. slowmodon says:

    You’re right Mike but nobody wanna see the facts… I think this photo is fake, maybe it’s not but it’s still just an ad. By the way THY is the one of the offical sponsors of Barcelona Football Team. Can you say one of the biggest football club on planet can accept a fail? No, cos the stats say THY is second best in Europe and one of the best, maybe top three or five, in whole world. They knows it, we know it but why cant you accept this? Don’t try to humiliate Turkish Airlines, its very bad attempt and thanksgiving jokes are for the retards…

  62. ibrahim says:

    Turkish Airlines is one of the best airlines in the world.

  73. Serdar Ekrem Sirin says:

    Hi,

    The picture above has drawn our attention, thanks for posting the picture and comments. We would like to clarify this issue with further information.

    The picture was taken in Muscat, Oman. The agency that is responsible for this project had a breakdown of their internal approval systems that resulted in the supplier being misinformed about the correct way to adhere the signage in question. The sign was taken down after 2 days, with an apology letter from the agency. A correct version of the sign http://i50.tinypic.com/v5lc0h.jpg had displayed for a month.

    Thank you for your time.

    The character ‘Turkish’ in Guy Ritchie’s movie ‘Snatch’ claims his name comes from a plane crash that his parents survived…
    Just sayin’.

  75. KMG says:

    Brilliant! xD a Turkish airlines plane crashed in Holland in 2009 xD
    i still remember that!

  76. ersin says:

    “The character ‘Turkish’ in Guy Ritchie’s movie ‘Snatch’ claims his name comes from a plane crash that his parents survived…”

    Wrong he was given birth in a Turkish Airlines plane , it wasn’t a crash,

  77. genc says:

    gimme the cookies and nobody gets hurt!

  78. ufak says:

    How many more people will say that a plane recently crashed in Holland. Please just read the entries, and count how many times this was told, and also see some fascist europeans, and ignorant nationalist turks who think they’re the best in everything but all the world is against them.

    by the way all turks should be banned from internet

    • irony says:

      your comments exaclty:
      and also see some fascist europeans.

      -by the way all turks should be banned from internet

      see any resemblence? dickhead.

  79. matt says:

    Obviously this ad is not placed by the Turkish Airlines itself. It was a stupid ARABIC AGENCY placing this ad. T.A. even sued them for this silly mistake. Well everyone knows the way Arab people are.

  80. steve hanks says:

    turkısh airlines is the best of the world

  81. hakan says:

    dear greeks and other crusader jerks, turks are your constant LORDS in in total civilization history. dont forget it. cheers.

  82. adam says:

    why you all blame on the thy. this is oman and they manage the advertisinings things in the airport. i always use the thy and im so happy with that. dont try to solve ur problems with this small silly things. turks kicked ur asses in the history actually u kicked ur asses by urself like ww1 and ww2. but we always have to save u
    greetings from the USA

  83. sage says:

    It’s Mall Branding activity in Muscat. The artwork is prepared by the local agency but the one in the picture is not the approved one and it is taken out two days after the implementation.

    It’s the fault of the agency so it is not fair to accuse Turkish Airlines and compare the ad with the tragic accident.

  84. waddle5897 says:

    now the terrorists are gonna blow up The mall :O

  85. lale says:

    how sad… to read such a lot of agression in this world…

  86. Bindy says:

    “Hi

    I work for the agency in Muscat and I can confirm that this was due to the supplier positioning the poster incorrectly. As soon as we were aware of the mistake, it was taken down. It had nothing to with Turkish Airlines.”

    Thank you

  87. RetardBumz says:

    Lol thats complately retarded story.%90 of failphotos and videos on this site from your country and you are blaming THY and Turks.I agree that half of users from my country are retard and they showing the entire Turkish nation bad.But you shouldnt blame a nation for a dick.Dont be racist.

    Btw; every airlines had crash,lol at those “lol TA crashed haha their plane crashed last year lol they fail”.
    Use your brains.

  88. yakamoz says:

    Imagine, if you can, the ad on the *other* side of the escalator. Duh. It’s not the people who designed the ad that failed; it’s the people who hung it up on the wrong side of the escalator.

  89. Babz says:

    Does anyone know where this is??? I swear I saw something like this in Heathrow Airport a while ago!!!!

  90. Let them fail in ads, as long as they do not fail in bed!

  91. bpo project says:
