Pic: Ryanair Flight Departs Ahead of Tornado
A tornado followed a plane as it took off from a U.K. airport (mobile.twitter.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
"RyanAir, caution tailwind"
This kind of weather really 'sucks'.
That was simply another one of O'Leary's tools to suck every penny out of another Ryanair flight sitting static.
Maybe it was safer flying away from the twister than sitting there and getting blown away. Even in a car it's easy to outrun a tornado (as long as you're going in the right direction-lol).
No doubt passengers got charged for that....
Thrill Charge. LOL
I have no doubt the photo was photoshopped. Otherwise, there would be background detail. Plus, the lighting is off. That being said, the UK, surprisingly, has more tornadoes per sq mile than elsewhere in Europe. So, I won't argue that a flight may have taken off before a tornado. However, I'm highly skeptical of the photo. And, naturally, the photo had to have been of Ryan Air. Sigh. If it's legit, I would expect to see a sequence of shots. Until then, I'll put it in my file of Bigfoot sightings.
