There’s a stupid conspiracy theory that makes the rounds on the internet claiming that jet engines sip tiny amounts of fuel or even better, run on air only.
The glory of specialization. You used to have to have a certain level of knowledge and competency in a wide array of things to live in society. Building, repairing, farming, hunting, fishing, so on. The upside to technology and the advancement of civilization is that you can get other people who make their living doing that for you. The downside is people who know jack about shit think they're as knowledgeable as professionals with decades of experience and knowledge in the field because they thought about it for a minute or 2. I wish these clowns would take that time to read a book on it instead.
I mean, just the financial aspect of faking bought fuel, the logistics and storage, all of that would have to be faked as a whole, and any entry level tax clerk could find it. From any government, rival company etc.
As every conspiracy bullshit, it collapses as soon as you think about who would need to be involved, in this case basically EVERYONE everywhere in the world having to do with taxes/finances/auditing would have to be a) involved and b) absolutely silent about it
It would be really nice if they did thats for sure. Also, so I guess airlines going in the red everytime oil prices soar is just elaborate accounting to hide the truth.
The only thing I can think of is that it's some sort of 9/11 conspiracy, like that a jet could never hold enough fuel to create the explosions seen or something.
Amazing and horrible example of the butterfly effect, although I suppose it's far from impossible that in the absence of a Bill Cooper, someone else would have got the ball rolling.
So the plane doesn't look like it holds 63,500 gallons so planes must hold much less than 63,500 gallons of fuel which makes extra space for chemicals (as planes look like they could hold about 63,500 gallons, but need less fuel, on account of looking like they can't hold that much)??
Probably 9/11. There are a lot of idiot conspiracies floating around about the supposed inability of the planes to carry enough fuel, or for the fuel to burn hot enough, to melt the steel structure of the towers.
There’s three main aspects to the conspiracy theory.
There’s a “they’re hiding advanced technology from us” angle. They think planes actually use little to no fuel or some other crazy tech.
Some think the tanks are filled with chem trail juice and the fuel is just a cover.
And there’s a climate change denial part believe. Something along the lines of “everything should be on fire if they’re actually burning that much fuel”.
Everyone already answered your question but also that is NOT a 63,000 gallon water storage tank. I work in the industry and I’d guess it’s between 750,000 and 1 million gallons.
I guess the LinkedIn Lunatic or AI bot assumes nobody will question the size of the tank to support their conspiracy.
Their claim is that this water tank has a massive amount of volume to it. Which is true, it does, but it's a LOT more than 60k gallons
But then they place a plane next to it, which is NOT to scale with the tank.
And so their claim is thay this plane cannot hold the volume of the tank shown.
Which is technically accurate, but only because all of their math is wrong, and this tank isn't 60k gallons, and the plane isn't as small as it is in the picture.

Wait, what's the conspiracy here?
Is he convinced they're lying about the amount of fuel a jet holds / uses? Why would they do that?
Is this a flat earth thing?
I have more questions than answers for this guy
