Is that an airplane seat in a house?

They had to leave the plane but no one wanted to wake them up

Looks like an old one too, based on the ashtrays in the armrests and the "stereo" headphone plugs.

I've seen those connectors recently, but the ashtray is a giveaway.

Maybe from this plane

The inexperienced co-pilot, Lieutenant-Colonel Dante HĂ©ctor Lagurara, was at the controls when the accident occurred. He mistakenly believed the aircraft had reached CuricĂł, where the flight would turn to descend into Pudahuel Airport, but failed to notice that instrument readings indicated he was still 60–70 km (37–43 mi) from the city. As he began to descend, the aircraft struck a mountain, shearing off both the wings and the tail section. The remaining portion of the fuselage slid down a glacier at an estimated 350 km/h (220 mph) and descended about 725 metres (2,379 ft) before crashing into ice and snow.

The flight was carrying 45 passengers and crew, including 19 members of the Old Christians Club rugby union team, along with their families, supporters and friends. Three crew members and nine passengers died immediately; several more died soon afterward due to the frigid temperatures and the severity of their injuries. The wreck was located at an elevation of 3,570 metres (11,710 ft) in the remote Andes of far western Argentina, just east of the border with Chile. Authorities flew over the crash site several times during the following days, searching for the aircraft, but could not see the white fuselage against the snow. Search efforts were canceled after eight days.[1]

During the following 72 days, the survivors suffered extreme hardships, including exposure, starvation and an avalanche, which led to the deaths of 13 more passengers. The remaining passengers resorted to cannibalism. As the weather improved with the arrival of late spring, two survivors, Nando Parrado and Roberto Canessa, climbed a 4,650-metre (15,260 ft) mountain peak without gear and hiked for 10 days into Chile to seek help, traveling 61 km (38 miles). On 23 December 1972, two months after the crash, the last of the 16 survivors were rescued. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uruguayan_Air_Force_Flight_571

I made business with a old guy that fixed my chair some years ago and he said his most common business was creating gaming chairs from car seats. If this is a think I can extrapolate that airplane seats are also a thing

I used to work in resale, both estates and in a junk shopused furniture boutique. I've never come across an airplane seat, but I've sold everything from church pews to slot machines, even a Lotus Elise one time.

I guarantee that these are someone's bread-and-butter. Somewhere, someone knows a guy who scraps planes in Nevada, and makes a trip out there once or twice a year to load his truck for a couple hundred bucks. I'm out of the game now, but I'll always appreciate the ingenuity of that subculture.

Why is there an airplane chair in a not-airplane?

One has really like to fly to have airplane sit in a house.

Wow that's bizarre, thanks for calling it out I'd have never noticed. I guarantee this person has a kick ass simulator setup as well in the house.

Argentina is a land of racists and nationalist pieces of shit. Make that a meme.

You’ll find those people in every country you visit. Argentina isn’t special.

You clearly have no knowledge of what Argentine people are like, or you're one of their putrid offspring. Either way, you're wrong.

Feel free to continue looking like an idiot.

People everywhere are the same. Nobody is special.

You think you're on the moral high ground because you're uneducated and empathetic. Get in line, the internet is full of you.

Hey pal go see a therapist. Being an edgy teenager is a silly phase.

People are people, everywhere. Political and economical reasons can force people to act in certain ways. That statement is true in every country around the world. You aren’t going to be any more or less of a bad person because you were born on a specific side of an imaginary/arbitrary line.

That being said, fuck off.

... whatever faggot. Your beliefs are opinions and you tout them like facts. Look up what that says about your intelligence. I'm serious. It's readily available. Plenty of studies about how intelligent you must be to speak this way.

As for you, you're probably a faggot because your father was a faggot; and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

There’s that teen angst!

One day you’ll wake up, realize you’re a shit person who doesn’t add any value to this world and finally do the right thing and grow the fuck up.

Do you honestly think calling me a homophobic slur is going to hurt my feelings or make people here agree with you?

How old are you, child?

Lol. I'm not certain reading any of those studies would benefit you actually. You seem to be pretty sure of yourself. I'll enlighten you, condescension is often linked to a lower IQ. Belief that the world is an inherently good place is often linked to a lower IQ. The fact that you think faggot is a no no word is also indicative of a low IQ. The fact that you think calling someone a child is an insult means you're early to mid twenties. So let me get this all wrapped up for you, you're likely not College educated. You drive a used car. You do not own a home. You're struggling with your bills and currently shitty job, and yet here you are. Arguing with a stranger on the internet instead of trying to better yourself as you think I should. So let me ask you, what makes you think your better than me? Is it because you lack the brain power to realize you're having a childish internet fight while ironically calling someone a child? Or are you one of the many people with a low IQ who thinks they're the smartest person in the room?

Where did I say that the world is an inherently good place?

None of what you wrote is correct. You managed to swing and miss on all six of your assumptions about me.

Also, it’s “you’re”, not “your”. But you knew that, didn’t you, Megamind?

I hit the nail right on the head. That's why now you're so reticent. Run along. You've other people to spout your drivel to.

You're a bit of a feisty one, ay?
