People are going crazy over Emirates' 'diamond-covered' plane

The internet is losing its collective mind after Emirates airlines posted a picture of one of its planes covered in diamonds and crystals.

The Emirates “Bling” 777 — which many took as a reference to a Boeing 777 aircraft — was pictured alongside baggage carts and shuttle buses, an otherwise everyday travel image aside from the plane’s spectacular embellishment.

A Boeing 777 plane is typically 242 feet, 4 inches long — meaning a whole lot of precious gems would be needed to cover it.

Not surprisingly, people were freaking out on Twitter in reaction to United Arab Emirates-based airline’s post.

Although some accused the airline of “showing off,” others were simply concerned about whether the plane would be able to take off in general.

Some were skeptical about whether or not the plane was real.

As it turns out, the post is of an artwork created by award-winning crystal artist Sara Shakeel and posted on her Instagram account.

She posted an image on Thursday of a plane wing flying above a crystal-studded cloud.
