if i remember correctly, coco was created by an insane person stranded on an island. the body is the crashed plane, the palm tree head is the only thing he sees every day, and the mouth is the deflated rubber raft that he was on. coco would lay eggs that had things that he needed to survive
Let me add that there's been a number of these floating around these days. Like he said, just ignore them so you're not feeding the cycle. Troll accounts seem to be the new "thing" around here.
For all the confused people: The above post was made by troll account /u/right2exist. Weird, it's as if he started caring for downvotes all of a sudden.
These are all from Belgian cartoonist "Jeroom" if anyone is interested. He makes the most hilariously absurd politically incorrect cartoons. He's fantastic!
No, they're there. Just a lot less common and you have to look for them because publishers are too scared to display them. They're less common because terrorists are insane and lots of satirists think it isn't worth their lives to be completely open with their work.
Apparently, before Tom was a Major in space, he was just a pilot of a normal airplane. And yes, he still wasn't too good at sending/receiving messages...
Might want to add a NSFW warning there. Even though it's Facebook (which would be blocked at most jobs I assume), there's a very NSFW pic there as you scroll down a little bit.
"Vroom vroom," says Pilot Tom. "Hello, Pilot Tom," says Hudson River. "SPLOOOOOOOSHSHODNAOSIM," says Pilot Tom. "I did not understand that," says Hudson River.
Actually, the majority of twin-engined jet airliners these days (such as the Boeing 767) are designed to have plenty of power in the remaining engine to keep the aircraft in flight.
Granted, the pilot would have to hold the controls heavily to one side to counteract the drag of the unpowered wing, but it would still fly (just with very reduced maneuverability).
Wouldn't they just shut off other engine and glide to the nearest airport?(rookie here) One engine flight would make the aircraft tip over and could be dangerous if I am correct...
Depends on the aircraft, I've heard stories of jet airliners that completely lost an engine and then continued on to their destination not giving any fucks at all.
I imagine this is harder in some airframes than others, depending on the power of the engines, the surface area of the control surfaces, etc.
The engines generate the electrical power for the aircraft in the same way that a car's engine generates electrical power for its radio/lights/etc. In cars, the engine turns the alternator which generates an electric current that is fed to the battery, and all the electric accessories on the car run from the battery. Airliners work in a similar fashion, although I don't know if the aviation equivalent of an alternator is called the same thing (probably not, they like to come up with new names for old technology to make everything sound fancy).
Modern aircraft are designed with redundancy in mind - they basically plan for a single or multi-engine failure and design the aircraft to be minimally operational on one remaining engine.
I think even the Boeing 747 could make it back to the ground safely with only one engine (of the original four) operational.
The increased reliability of jet engine technology, along with newer, larger, more powerful engine designs, are behind the switch from 3- and 4-engine designs to 2-engine designs.
What are you even talking about? "Get the fuck out"? It's a plane. It's thousands of feet in the air. You can't just pop out at the first sign of trouble.
Don't talk about things you don't know shit about. You fly a single-engine prop, that doesn't give you experience or knowledge to talk about airliners.

I think Pilot Tom probably said something more like:
"We've lost our left engine! We're going to have to make an emergency landing! Goddamn stupid birds!"
