    The penguin, which had been placed in the box and on the lap of a passenger, slid off and knocked the pilot’s controls just after take-off from **Bird Island **

    Is it bad that my immediate thought was “Is the penguin okay?”

    I’m going to be a pedant, and point out it was an unsecured box, with a penguin in it, which knocked the controls.

      Yeah but would the box have slipped without the penguin in it? We need more penguin box experiments I think.

        Could this be a Schroedinger’s penguin situation?

      Weird way to say the on-board computer is Linux based, but ok. Link to the CVE?

      Apparently the penguin wanted a say in whether or not it was being deported
