Flying Conundrum

Engineering & Science Humor - RF CafeThese engineering and science tech-centric jokes, song parodies, anecdotes and assorted humor have been collected from friends and websites across the Internet. I check back occasionally for new fodder, but it seems all the old content is reappearing all over (like this is). The humor is light-hearted and clean and sometimes slightly assaultive to the easily-offended, so you are forewarned. It is all workplace-safe.

Here's a great conundrum sent to me by Steve Swartz.

Quiz: This is a true story -- can you guess the answer?

My wife, Barbara, and I left on a flight to New Orleans on June 9, from Baltimore Washington International airport. Halfway through the flight I took these photos. Barbara was reading her book and then looked up. No one else was on the plane, so I went to the cockpit and no one was there either! This is not staged. Here are pictures that document this true story. What could have happened?

  1. We are part of the Langoliers Steve King movie
  2. We entered the Twilight Zone
  3. Everyone jumped out of the airplane
  4. Another logical answer

D.  The flight stopped at St. Louis on the way to New Orleans. We were the only ones who stayed on that aircraft at St Louis. The rest of the people, including the aircrew, left. There was a crew attendent who gave me permission to photograph the cockpit, but then he left.
