Led Zeppelin had an electric fireplace in their plane (2018)
- bingaling 3y agowhere's the chimney?
- not_your_vase 3y agoMost likely it's somewhere in the cargo area, connected via wifi or bluetooth.
- vinay_ys 3y agoNo, it was routed directly to the jet engine's bleed-air system. Interestingly, jet engine was said to be a tad bit more efficient because of it.
- iancmceachern 3y agoWood gasification jet engine!
- 486sx33 3y agoSomeone else said the fireplace was electric. But had it been wood and routed into the engine intake it could in fact have added efficiency… feel free to fall down the wood gas rabbit hole https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_gas https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_gas
- sebastiennight 3y agoThis page does say that "coke" is preferred to wood gas for propulsion, which brings us back full circle to Led Zeppelin

- Kenji 3y agoIt's ridiculous clickbait then. I thought there was an actual fire inside the plane.
- dang 3y agoWe've made the fireplace electric in the title above.
- 0x0000000 3y agoSo a space heater, not a fireplace.
- iancmceachern 3y agoIt's a fireplace shaped space heater. It's like that "nacho cheese" you get at the baseball game. It's really cheese flavored pudding, served hot.
- trylfthsk 3y ago> When the Allman Brothers chartered the plane, they found "Welcome Allman Brothers" written on the plane's bar in lines of cocaine once they boarded. I wonder how that looks on an expense report

- bee_rider 3y agoSeems wonderfully on-brand for a band named after a thing that isn’t supposed to fly.
- imglorp 3y agoOf course, Mythbusters flew one. https://youtu.be/HZSkM-QEeUg?t=219 https://youtu.be/HZSkM-QEeUg?t=219
- rqtwteye 3y agoI remember talking to a guy who had to design an elevator in a 747 for some Arab king. Quite a challenge to make sure this would not get stuck while the plane flexes a little.
- golergka 3y ago> When the Allman Brothers chartered the plane, they found "Welcome Allman Brothers" written on the plane's bar in lines of cocaine once they boarded. Just how normalised was cocaine in the 70s?
- HeavyStorm 3y agoFor a rock and roller? Very. Take a peek on Ozzy's biography and you'll see permanent access to the stuff.
- terminalcommand 3y agoBlack Sabbath even has a song titled Snowblind. The theme is that they were snowblinded per se when one of their Cocaine containers spread open while touring.
- golergka 3y agoThanks, I didn't know about it! Checked the song out, and it seems closer to the reality of the drug than the glamourised way that its usually portrayed in movies.

- toni 3y agoso normal that a plastic surgeon discovered a hole the size of a coin burned through Stevie Nicks' nose from her cocaine use.
- woleium 3y agothere is also this rather unfortunate picture of Danyella Westbrook, who lost her entire septum to cocaine. https://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/s/yGSfyjL0W0 https://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/s/yGSfyjL0W0
- xeromal 3y agoI saw their plane land in El Segundo a few years ago and it blew my mind they flew in a 747 or whatever that jumbo sized plane was. Killer zombie graphic on the outside though
