**Alaska Airlines Landing Gear Failure: Shocking Cause Uncovered!**
In a shocking turn of events, Alaska Airlines has confirmed that the recent landing gear failure on Flight 123 was caused by a rogue moose who had taken up a part-time job as a mechanic. Yes, you read that right! The moose, affectionately named “Benny the Bolt,” was reportedly trying to earn extra cash to fund his dream of becoming a professional ice skater.
Witnesses aboard the flight described the moment of panic as “like a scene from a bad B-movie.” One passenger, who wished to remain anonymous but insisted on being called “Captain Crunch,” said, “I thought we were going down! But then I saw Benny waving a wrench and thought, ‘Well, at least he’s got a good grip!’”
Alaska Airlines spokesperson, Linda Mooseworthy, stated, “We take full responsibility for this incident. We had no idea Benny was using our hangar as his personal workshop. He was supposed to be on a strict diet of grass and snow, not nuts and bolts!”
In a bizarre twist, Benny has since been signed to a lucrative endorsement deal with a local ice cream company, which plans to launch a new flavor called “Moose Tracks and Turbulence.” The company’s CEO, Chuck “The Churner” McFlurry, said, “We believe Benny’s story will really resonate with our customers. Plus, who doesn’t love a good moose story?”
As for Alaska Airlines, they are now implementing a new policy: all mechanics must be human, and moose are strictly prohibited from the hangar. “We’re just trying to keep the skies safe,” Mooseworthy added, “and maybe get Benny some ice skates.”
So, the next time you fly with Alaska Airlines, just remember: if you hear a clanking noise, it might not be the landing gear—it could just be Benny practicing his pirouettes!
