Fantastic.

It definitely wasn't a plane crash... nono

Merely a runway excursion incident hehe
Did the captain say 'hang on a minute lads, I’ve got a great idea…'?

A very pretty, possibly single woman was obviously in first class.

Captain of Pegusus Airlines aircraft said:
See that petty woman in first class? Women like pilots. Women like handbrake turns. It's a sure fire thing!

Navigator, watch this...

Had an experience when I was with BA. Off the runway, just onto the grass verge while taxying. wobble Had to be dug out. Everybody walked away unscathed. Nothing like the Turkish incident, more embarrassing really.

If you follow the tracks that's apocalyptically bad car control. Top effort.

Park over the end line, check.
Use the railing as a parking brake, check.
Put left front of car in the exact spot where vehicles cut the corner turning right into the exit aisle, check.
Fold mirrors so that car isn't damaged, check.

To be slightly fair, many cars automatically fold them back.

Ok, I was using that as irony...

It is also clear that the forward parkers hit the railing a lot more often than the reverse parkers, given the two likely approaches to that post. If it was equal you'd expect the thing to be battered but upright.
