BOOM! Dreamliner Goes Down in India! Did Someone Say Kaboom?

Kaboom? More Like Ka BLAMMO!

Okay okay settle down you Powder Monkeys! Word on the street (or you know the internet because streets are SO last century) is a Boeing Dreamliner decided to take a permanent vacation... straight into the ground near Ahmedabad. Apparently it was Air India Flight 171 headed for London and things went a bit sideways. Like kablooey sideways. They say it went down moments after takeoff... guess someone forgot the lucky charm! 'Rules are made to be broken'... and planes apparently.

625 Feet? That's Barely a Warm Up!

So this 'Dreamliner' (more like 'Nightmare liner' am I right?) only made it to 625 feet before deciding gravity was its new best friend. That's barely high enough to get a good view of the chaos! The flight tracker people are saying something about a 'vertical speed of 475 feet per minute'. All I hear is 'falling with style!' But seriously people? What a way to start the day! I would not want to be on that flight imagine how boring the lack of a destination would be? Plus I'm not really a people person...

Blame Game: Who's the Guilty Spark?

Now everyone's pointing fingers faster than I can fire Fishbones. Boeing's saying 'thoughts and prayers,' GE's mumbling about 'emergency response teams' and Air India's CEO looks like he swallowed a lemon. They will investigate for MONTHS to understand what happened as if I am not busy enough to not know what actually happened. Seems to me someone messed up big time. But hey at least the NTSB is sending a team. More suits to annoy! 'Here comes the money!'

Poor Souls and Office Dwellers

Apparently there were a whole lotta people on that plane: 230 passengers and 12 crew members to be exact. Indians Brits Portuguese and even a Canadian all joining the mile high... well not mile high more like dirt low club. And get this the plane crashed into a residential area with offices! Oh great so people at home and people who think that they are working are suffering. 'Surprise!'

Air Show? More Like Air Disaster Show!

And the timing? Comedy GOLD! The Paris Air Show is next week. Boeing and Airbus were supposed to show off their shiny new toys and rake in the cash. Now? Everyone's gonna be side eyeing those planes like they're about to spontaneously combust. 'Was that supposed to happen?' I love the smell of irony in the morning!

Jinx's Official Diagnosis: Needs More Explosions!

Look I'm no expert (okay maybe I am an expert in explosions) but this whole situation screams for more chaos! A little 'Pow Pow' here a 'Fishbones' there and BOOM! Problem solved! Well maybe not solved but definitely more entertaining. Until next time folks keep your eyes on the sky... and maybe invest in a good parachute. Jinx out! And as always rules are meant to be broken so don't listen to anything I just said. Heh.
