It was all gone in a few seconds
Just as an FYI: here's some science behind the effect - www.atoptics.co.uk/fz164.htm

Since when is that condensation?

There are easily noticeable areas of "something" coming out of the aircraft that do not originate from the two engines - as you can see there are numerous other trails that originate from various spots along the wingspan of the aircraft. According to the FAA - "Typically, contrails become visible within roughly a wingspan distance behind the aircraft." - Does that look like anything even remotely close to a wingspan? It's touching the wings for christ's sake. Contrails line up directly with the engines because that's where they come from - it's science.

What you are seeing here, is not science, it's artificial.

That is in no way, a condensation trail. If anyone believes it is, they're living in a fantasy land. Ignorance is bliss.

That is the biggest load of phony bologna I've ever heard in my entire life. That picture clearly shows a defined spray with many different streams. If you're telling me that's not the case, I think you need to get your eyes checked.

Good day to you.

I'm not sure what I can say in the face of such wilful ignorance.

Hahaha, you've got a full-blown conspiracy theorist nutbag on your case. :D

But seriously, those are clearly mind control spores coming off the back of that plane. This science of yours is highly suspect.

I am a nut, because I view something as unusual and decide to question it? Continue freely with your hostile judgments, it just makes you look like the ignorant ones.
