FRONTIER AIRLINES FLIGHT 4345 VS PEDESTRIAN
FRONTIER AIRLINES FLIGHT 4345 - 1
PEDESTRIAN - 0
Overview
This dark humor meme displays a heavily damaged Frontier Airlines jet engine, with overlaid text framing the damage as the result of a contest between Frontier Airlines Flight 4345 and a pedestrian. The top text reads "FRONTIER AIRLINES FLIGHT 4345 VS PEDESTRIAN", while the bottom text gives a lopsided score of "FRONTIER AIRLINES FLIGHT 4345 - 1, PEDESTRIAN - 0". A partial view of an unknown person holding a phone to inspect the engine is visible on the left side of the frame. The joke ties to the original title reference of "FAFO" (Fuck Around and Find Out), implying the pedestrian suffered negative consequences for reckless behavior near an operating aircraft, though the engine damage is almost certainly from an unrelated real-world incident such as a bird strike.
Origin notes
This meme was originally distributed via 9Gag's RSS feed with the given original title referencing the popular internet slang FAFO. It edits a real photograph of damaged Frontier Airlines flight 4345 engine with meme text added using a tool like Imgflip (evidenced by the Imgflip watermark on the image) to create a dark joke, repurposing real incident footage for comedic effect.
