#20 Taking a picture of a guy taking a picture? Hmm…that looks legit!

What's going on in #4?

FLChiver

The prop stopped.

IrishInNJ

I guess…inconclusive at best..

Jahnny

No, it's not inconclusive, you're just a little slow on the uptake. Nothing to be ashamed of

HeavyP

The plane is off the ground by quite a bit, but the propeller is stationary. Unless that guy has the highest speed camera ever, that engine is not working.
Caffeine

Normally that propeller thingy is spinning a bit faster…
Sara

The propeller is not moving
MexicanCowboy

Iranian dictator training to be a cosmonaut…FAIL
El Capitano

The prop is feathered, therefore nonoperational
Adam

The prop is stopped and feathered, probably a training flight (shutting down an engine is part of multi engine training) considering if it were a real emergency you wouldn't be concerned with taking a picture.

Mehh. You could still fly with 1 engine.

1C451

The feathered is propped…

Nothing is wrong, they get to go skydiving!
Teddy Roxspin

Actually, if you take a picture of a fully functioning prop, it comes out like that. optical illusion. Something to do with the rate of revolutions and shit. I took a pic flying in a buddies cessna and it tripped me out!

pilot

Nope. As mentioned above the prop is feathered meaing it's turned parallel to the airflow to reduce drag on that side. The upshot is that that engine is not producing power. How stressful that is depends on whether this is training or an unplanned event, if the one on the other side is producing power, and how proficient the pilot is at single engine operations. not a big deal at curise which this appears to be but somewhat more interesting at lower speeds, like landing. At least they have decent weather for it.

Tava

Actually, nothing is wrong. The picture was taken with a digital camera.

pilot

Nope…see above

Craigery

Even if the engine shut off, it's not like the plane is going to instantly fall from the sky. A plane with a blown engine can usually just glide to a safe landing.

C-130 Crew Dog

Very true for most aircraft, except for F-16's. We used to call those things lawn darts. If their one engine went out, they'd usually arch over and go straight down…

I knew a case of a C-130 (four engines) losing two engines on the same side of the plane(!) and still being able to make it to an airfield.

#4

Derp

A c-130 can actually maintain altitude with a single engine operational.

Also, I once glided in to Bakersfield airport in a Cessna 172 due to carb over the grapevine. That carb heater still owes me a pair of pants.

Derp

Carb ice*

FACK.

Fake? Yes

I thought it had to be photo-shopped. That would be so eff'd

#11 That's what you get for being stupid.

Of course I doubt that 10,000 covered the damage to the car and the car wash place.
Fuckin Bob Saget

Is a complete retard and gets rewarded……. What's this world come to

Hell Is Other People

Okay, I'll say it: Not surprising coming from an SUV driver…

I am a bit surprised it was a dude, though.Sorry, bros, but your soccer Mom wives (and guys like this guy) have given you a terrible rep.

Let the SUV defenders' onslaught begin!

#11
TheVanityScore

he had one job to do. stay in the damn vehicle.

guest

That just pissed me off. I hate stupid people.

jess

Seeing that they are in the air and the prop is not turing I would say they lost an engine

I miss her, or you

actually, the engine is still there, you can see it right there in the photo. so it's not lost I don't think. ps my ex-gfs name was Jess, she was dumb too, so don't feel bad.

Epitomizer

#1 Judging by what I can see from this picture, you may want to think about a few of your life choices. Unless your in college, in which case, it looks like just another day to me.

Berty

You're * in college. Which one did you go to ?

Epitomizer

The one where they taught us not to freak out over the little things, such as internet Grammar Nazis and auto correct on our phones.

Here, I'll try again anyway just to make you happy:
You're an ass.

Better?

LloydXmas

That's okay. Pretend that not using proper grammar is a "little thing", but it makes you look really stupid.

Epitomizer

On a fucking internet comment thread, from my mobile phone?
Who am I? Oh you don't know? Neither does anyone else…

Salt

open minded

Awesome…
Epitomizer

You are awesome.

thanks :), Jess's ex

actually.. when you "quote" something, proper grammar says to place your punctuation such as your comma, inside your parenthesis. like this.. "who gives a shit about grammar, really?"

Spelling Police

*you're – as in "you are in college." Stay in school.

16inchzipper

I love Collage!

gggbu

you probably dropped it because you had your camera out to share every moment with the world
Chicago

Why are you judging this guys choices?

Then you get angry when someone else judges your spelling?

Wake up, Epitomizer.

#1 What the f*ckin f*ck!

Can someone explain #4?

Brother Maynard

One of the engines stopped.

Propeller should be spinning

Why so many thumbs down for a question?

#2 Must belong to the owner of Carnival Cruise Lines.

DickFister

Should change the name to Circus Cruise Lines cause they're a bunch of fucking clowns

Brother Maynard

#4 It's ok, they have a second.

Phoenix

that was the second one

Dbeck

#16 a little pre-mature buddy

Shawny

Reminds me of a young me.

captain america

hahaha, made me laugh. ps I think he's running from that missile that's probably not supposed to be sitting on the runway

Tim

the hornet just took a trap. the winder was not loaded properly, and slid off the rails when the aircraft was arrested. i'd also refrain from calling it a "runway"

really

oh, my hero….yousosmart..
your lieutenant

sorry corporal faggit

Looks like the first pizza I baked by myself….

#1 Who the fuck holds a camera while eating spaghetti, dude was asking for shit.

#11 I love that he sticks his hand out in a "what the hell" kinda fashion. Probably demanded the Car Wash pay for his door afterwards too.

Haha damn I've done that twice after the bars. took forever to get the smell out of my house

RIP Bro.
Gonndo

I'm aware of the obsession with posting everything that happens in your life but, the first thing you do when something like #1 happens is take a picture of it??? More than attention, you need help, my friend…

╙╥╨

He was probably on the phone, thats why he dropped the shit in the first place. I eat pasta in the nude

sneakypete

#13 I facking hate cats! kill them all! Unleash the houndsssssssss!

Wantomas

You better not let Adolf Kitler and his Pawzi regime hear you say such things.
jaal

I facking love cats! Kiss them all! Unleash the hounds! I love dogs too! In fact most animals are way cool now that I think about it. Unleash them all! (except mosquitoes, fack them)

tom

#4 the prop didnt stop, ive taken a picture of a helicopter with my phone before that showed the blades completely normal. It doesnt take a great camera to capture that photo.

JP1983

There is no motion blur at all. It's far more likely that they shut the port engine down and feathered the prop. It's a common procedure when earning a multi-engine rating for a pilot. The starboard engine is likely still running, so there isn't much danger as long as they keep the speed above the minimum controllable single-engine speed.
Chris

No…it's stopped…Your dumb, go put on a helmet.

ronfin

Ironic that you called someone else dumb. It's "you're" genius. Let me know how that helmet fits.

Hurricane Harri

Prop is in an alignment with the engine cowling, thus "feathered" so that it does not create drag on the aircraft. Therefore stopped. If it was running, it would tear the engine to pieces due to the rpms and no wind resistance to the prop. Working propellers are at some degree perpendicular to the engine so that they cut through the air and compress it behind then giving you flight.
Jdiz

The prop is feathered. That engine is shut down. Completely normal to see that in multi-engine flight training.

#1 So you got wasted…
#17 Roll with it and have some fun!
