Aircraft Mechanic Explains Frodo's Window

I'm an aircraft mechanic and so when you press this button than the fading that Frodo experienced is that this window actually doesn't begin to fade which resulted in Frodo having to be carried on horseback by Glorfindel when they were swept away in the flooding at the Ford of Bruinen and I think this window shades pretty cool so yep

An aircraft mechanic sits inside an airplane and demonstrates the dimming window shade by pressing its control. He jokingly compares the window fading to Frodo’s fading condition in The Lord of the Rings, then imagines Frodo being carried by Glorfindel and swept away at the Ford of Bruinen. The joke comes from treating a fantasy plot detail like an aircraft engineering explanation, ending with casual approval of the window shade.
