The Beeb reports, “Goats sacrificed to fix Nepal jet,” in which we learn that two goats were slaughtered in sacrifice to the Hindu god of sky protection, Akash Bhairab, in front of a Boeing 757. Airline official Raju KC said to Reuters, “The snag in the plane has now been fixed and the aircraft has resumed its flights.” Local media have blamed an electrical fault, which actually makes sense if you know anything about goats. American Airlines has not responded to inquiries about whether they will be trying this at DFW.
The Consumerist reports, “Southwest Airlines Thinks Your Outfit Is Inappropriate” in which a 23-year-old Hooters waitress was asked to leave the plane for wearing the outfit shown in the photo here. She had been in Tucson, where the temperatures where 106 degrees, so perhaps wearing a sweater got their goat.
What concerns me most about this whole situation was what if she had made a fit about it?
“Plane delayed 6 hours because ‘inappropriately’ dressed woman causes a scare. Woman is then added to some ‘watch-list.'”
yikes..
