Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), weight loss photos, posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. Weight loss photos go in /r/loseit, DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Having flown on Ryan (government flight and Ryan was the lowest bidder), it doesn't surprise me in the last that it happened on one of their planes.

      According to Wikipedia, the engines on several different models of passenger planes have been known to randomly strip naked and let their junk flap in the wind. It is how they cope with having such a stressful job. I am the same way.

              No way, no one could have done that with just nail clippers. He must have used lotion on it too.

              AND, he stored the lotion and nail-clippers in his ball-sack, in order to bring it on the plane.

                    Former aircraft technician here in the air force. From looking at that, it appears the fasteners for that panel were not inspected correctly and drag is what took it off. Components under that panel are only on the outside of that engine, and should not be a problem, just increased drag. The real issue you need to worry about is, if that panel blew off by either faulty fasteners or by faulty preflight inspection, you probably don't want to know what else was overlooked.

                                Clearly the cowling has come off in flight, as you can see the buckling of the structure holding the nacelle. We don't know the status of systems and fuel/cooling lines running through that section. In addition, and perhaps even more critically, the cowling could have struck the wing and/or tail section, damaging it.

                                This could in many cases cause a plane to crash.

We don't know the status of the computers and gas tank running through that section. In addition, and perhaps even more critically, I am fucking terrified right now.

                                This will make everything crash horribly.

                                It was great, although a really long flight as we were going to America. I was like, 10, at the time and I had the bestest time. They were playing a movie during the flight too. "Wow!" I thought, "Movies in the sky!". It really was the greatest day.

                                The plane didn't crash. Which was nice.

She states 'I was like so scared like, so I like had to scream and the trauma caused me 5 years of pain'. We can only sympathize with her, and support her on her way to make sure this never occurs again.

                                  If the cowling was lost on the runway, it would probably not be nice for a subsequent flight to encounter it during takeoff or landing.

                                  Naturally we're not talking about load carrying structure, if that was the case then we would likely not be seeing this picture, but rather one of rubble on the ground.

                                  Depending on what kind of aircraft this is, critical systems could be located in the leading edge of the wing. Pneumatic de-icing, wiring, and don't forget the O2 tanks located at the wing root in at least the 747 series.

                                  There are many failure mechanisms in aeronautical design, that is why we strive to create redundancy. In most cases we achieve that, but when the fan cowling comes off during flight you DEFINITELY have to land and check for damage!!

                                  The only thing crashing here is the airline's stock value. I'd be surprised if that could take a passenger plane down. They're not as fragile as we think - watch episode 2 of Band of Brothers. Those old planes were built out of wood and metal by the lowest bidder and they could take massive beatings before they finally got knocked out of the sky.

                                    A/C maintenance here, just wanna clarify...

                                    had the cowling never been there it wouldn't be as big a deal. The engine could still work, but like he said, we couldn't trust the condition of those exposed engine components.

                                    The issue is the cowl was not fastened securely, and the entire section was forcefully ripped off mid flight. The cowling/shrapnel almost certainly would have gone back and damaged something else, but that is unclear. This looks like pure human error to me.

                                    While at first glance I would have freaked right the hell out, this actually looks to be the best way this sort of thing could have played out.

                                    Another aerospace engineer chiming in:

                                    Fuel lines/important electronics are not secured to the cowling. Aerodynamic properties will change a little, plane is in little danger though. There was, of course, the chance of the debris striking tail or flap (too inboard to be aileron, and from the picture, not likely flaps are extended). It could also bounce off the wing itself, but its very unlikely to have picked up enough energy by the time it passes the wing surface (also, most likely is it would only impact the leading edge, if any of the wing).

                                    Reddit is dynamic. People come and go, and there are hundreds of subreddits on the front page. Just because you have seen it before doesn't mean everyone else has, and a link's presence on the front page indicates there are a lot of people who haven't seen it before. If you feel it's been reposted, downvote it. The most repetitive content on reddit is "This is a repost." Think about that.

                                      The engine failing isn't that big of a concern, even if they all failed it would just mean that the pilot would need to make an early landing. However, the cowling hitting the tail could cause some major issues, depending on what was hit.

                                      Pilot chiming in, got some maintenance done on my C172 (had to have carburetor heat replaced) during my next pre-flight, saw that the maintenance guys forgot to put in 7 cowling screws that hold the two parts of the engine cover together. If the cowling came off, it could've damaged the windscreen or flew up and struck the horizontal stabilizer. Later on, found out that the guy before me (co-owned plane) had flown the plane with the cowling screws missing. TL;DR never trust maintenance

                                          no means enough to make a plane crash...

                                          Pilot here: Unless it rips off the elevator as it flies back, disabling pitch control. Loss of pitch control is, generally, a bad thing for planes. Damage to the vertical stabilizer, equally unpleasant. Little things tend to bring down big airplanes, as evidenced by most NTSB reports involving mechanical failure.

                                          The odds of it happening might be small but, when things go wrong, they tend to go wrong in a loud, noisy and hellish way.

                                          I thought like 90% of plane crashes are 'pilot error' or is that just small plane crashes

                                          Yeah, but it suggests that little care has been taken with the upkeep of the plane, inferring that a similar lack of care has been applied to other, more critical areas of the plane.

                                          You are correct - at best I guess I could say that "one could infer from this implication that a similar lack of care had been applied to other, more critical areas of the plane.".

                                          I used to think a cowl was just a head cover, but apparently cowling also refers to an engine cover... TIL.

                                              It's not a big deal, that covering is only on for improved aerodynamics.

                                              Best example, sport bikes have loads of extra bits to help them cut through the air, but you can take those off and it still works (or in the case of Ducati, you can sell them like that at a premium)

                                              It looks a lot worse than it is -- it's really the cover that's flown off and no damage to the engine itself or the plane's ability to fly.

                                              HAHA just the nacelle panel fell off, as long as the three engine mounts are still attached to the pylons the photographer will probably live through this experience and get to see their karma go up. Cool picture

                                              My first ever flight was cross country from D.C. to Seattle. Two days before that I had finished Michael Crichton's "Airframe". It was six hours of pure terror as I had a window seat on the wing and was just waiting for that bitch to fall apart. I was expecting my plane to look like this all day.

                                                        I've seen a few fighter come back missing a piece or two but never an entire engine cover. Probably few alright, maybe pulled to the left a tad with all the extra drag.

                                                        Think about the engineering behind that, truly amazing.
