A Northwest Airlines flight to Minneapolis recently went 150 miles past the airport, and was out of radio contact for 75 minutes before the pilots realized their mistake. They blame “cockpit distractions,” and said they both were using their personal laptops (probably to avoid the 10 Worst People To Sit Next To On An Airplane), but I bet they were actually asleep (dreaming of these 10 Animated Hotties That Animate Our Pants), cause that’s what I do when I’m in charge of people’s lives. However, we’ll go with the laptops theory, because that sounds way safer, and it’s harder to make a list about people sleeping. Here now are the 10 Things The Northwest Pilots Were Probably Looking At When They Overshot The MSP Airport.
10. The Movie “Airplane”
This is the movie that inspired a young Captain “Sully” Sullenberger, and also Chris Hansen.
9. A List Of Fun Things To Do In Minneapolis
I don’t know why they printed it up, then crumpled it up a little.
8. Each Other’s Eyes
“I look into your eyes and can’t help but drop out of radio communication for hours.”
7. Plane Porn
Sadly, airplane pornography is a thing that actually exists, and this is the tamest image I could find for this particular genre. Although, since it’s Continental, shouldn’t the plane be screwing… customers? (Welcome aboard ZING airlines! Please buckle your ZINGbelts!)
6. Rapping Flight Attendant
Plane pilots are always months behind with their viral videos.
5. GraphJam
Who doesn’t love GraphJam so much that they sometimes forget they’re responsible for hundreds of lives?
4. Airline Specific Versions Of Popular Internet Memes
You should have seen the Photoshops the airline people did for Balloon Boy.
3. Facebook
No matter who you are, you look at Facebook at work. Obama probably pokes Biden between security briefings.
2. The SFW version of “Snakes On A Plane”
It’s the SFW version because, you know, they were supposed to be at W(ork).
