The penguin is okay, that's the only thing important here.
First thing I checked the article for.
And that’s why I came here before potentially seeing something that would make me sad in the article.
Should have tariffed him better
Apparently the penguin wanted a say in whether or not it was being deported
The birds are fighting back

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 **
take-off from **Bird Island **
The authority said that "the lack of secure containment for the penguin" was responsible for creating the "dangerous situation".Hahaha
I'm going to be a pedant, and point out it was an unsecured box, with a penguin in it, which knocked the controls.
Weird way to say the on-board computer is Linux based, but ok. Link to the CVE?
It was just shitty drivers.
(CVE-2016-5195)
Yeah but unsecured box doesn't generate clicks
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?
So was it Kowalski, Rico, Skipper, or Private?
Is it bad that my immediate thought was "Is the penguin okay?"
If it is bad, I don't wanna be good. Poor penguin
"Ooh, look, a button!"
"Huh? Private, don't!!!"
And Grounded Linux was born on this day
they were probably trying to steal the penguin... so they got what they deserve
in a box for pets, rather than proper cage conservationist use, definitely stealing it.
THIS is why america tariffed them!
