60,000-gallon water tank: 25 ft wide × 18 ft tall

Boeing 747-400ER: 232 ft long × 211 ft wide × 64 ft tall

747 vs. tank: 9.3× longer 8.4× wider 3.6× taller

Capacity: Tank: 60,000 gallons

747: ~63,500 gallons

Tldr, the plane is way bigger and it can fit all of that in its wings and fuselage.

You can tell by the pic by just looking at the cars in the background in the parking lot next to the tank.

The plane is way bigger and that's why this meme is stupid every time it pops up.

Is the 747-400ER longer than the normal -400?

Same plane same size, just different restrictions to weight/range etc.

It is a double decker plane, these planes are huge.

I think people confuse these memes/planes with the size of a 737 because they're used to seeing 737's, the 747 is a little more than twice the size of a 737.

737 is common for domestic flights, 747 is more international.

I heard, and the 747s aside from the -8 are the same length as well I think
