I think they forgot something.

Actually this is the part of the ship that fell off. You can see here that it’s being towed outside its environment. I’d like to make quite clear that this is very unusual. Chance in a million.

I think that is enough of the plane for it to still take off.

Fredfredricksen01@reddit

I was at an airport in New Mexico where a company was stripping airplanes for parts.

They took the landing gear off a 747 and had it up at full height on blocks.

Kind of like when tires and wheels are stolen off a car but on a very large scale.

This is to save on jet fuel due to the current crisis.

ILS23left@reddit

Makes sense. Engines add so much weight to the aircraft. Can’t believe no one has figured this out sooner.

They’re towing it out of the environment.

[-]

Nah ….. that’s Delta just reinforcing Ed’s Q1-26 comment that they are a premium airline not dependent on back of the plane passengers. They realized they increase their margins by just leaving Economy behind……

When you pull away too quickly you leave part of the plane behind. I’ve seen this a hundred times.

Planes are expensive. Sometimes you can't just go and buy a full plane.

Imagine you are an intern on an airport, got told you can tug airplanes around, and then they present to you: yes, already scrapped airplanes.

Competitive_Speed964@reddit

Hard to tell from the video if that's the front that has fallen off getting towed away or the much rarer back that has fallen off. Either way, extremely unusual.

RangerUK@reddit
