Eastern Airlines introduces SCP Planes

Budget minded Eastern Airlines began a new service which should reduce costs by as much as $56 million a month. Eastern is immediately replacing their fleet of DC-9 planes with the more efficient Snap, crackle, Pop (or SCP) planes. On command these planes, like the name implies will do the following:
  • Snap into to separate pieces, allowing passengers to exit in a efficient and orderly manner
  • Have break-way engine mounts, which Crackle, thus allowing fast and easy engine replacements
  • And finally, Pop. If danger is detected by on board computers, the entire plane will explode
Eastern is very proud of its new fleet and predicts the SCP planes, exclusive to the airline, will increase ridership and fill the skies in the months to come.
