Stolen from an obscure forum:
Can a faulty flux capacitator cause an airplane to crash?

A faulty flux capacitator interferes with the function of the No. 1 engine in a B777. Specifically, it involves the turbine and the No. 2, 5, and 13 fan blades. This reduces the output of a GE90 engine from 115,000 to 37,500 lbs of thrust and eventually causes a catastrophic engine flameout. The damaged flux capacitator would interfere with the electronics in the cockpit, causing the AP to fault automatically and put the plane into a 50 degree dive. The altimeter and speed gauges would both change their reading to read 99,999 ft and 9,999 kts, respectively. The plane would automatically transfer all of its fuel to the right side of the plane, causing an ASY warning to sound. The plane would then compensate for this by dumping all the fuel, but this has its own problems as the plane no longer has fuel. Both engines flame out, and the plane depressurizes. The flux capacitator blasts the air conditioning at full blast into the passengers’ faces, discomforting them as they are in a 50 degree dive, with both engines on fire. The flaps and slats automatically deploy to try and slow the plane down, but this doesn’t help because as the plane automatically levels out, it now stalls. The flux capacitator controls the rudder and elevators, and as the flux capacitator nears death, it orders the rudder and elevators to operate randomly. So now you have a Boeing 777 that has both engines on fire, is dropping from the sky at 12,000 feet per minute, flaps and slats deployed, rudder and elevators twitching from the dying flux capacitator’s orders, and the plane is dissolving mid-air due to air friction. The flux capacitator finally has had enough and explodes, splitting the plane apart in one big fireball 4,000 feet above the ground. Fiery parts rain from the sky and the smoke from the fireball poisons the air for weeks.
Now, if only flux capacitators were real…
