Coins thrown into plane engine by old lady for luck cause delay

Here is the financial calculation: Nine coins in. Thousands of dollars to get them out.

A friend of mine was on a flight in the Middle East when an old Arab tried to light a fire in the aisle to boil a pot for smoko.

Chinese have twice "opened the door" for fresh air, luckily while stationary.

Coins thrown into plane engine by old lady for luck cause delay

In a way it WAS luck.

 

Lucky someone spotted her throwing them.

 

Lucky they reported it.

 

Lucky the airline actually stopped the flight.

 

Lucky they found all the coins.

 

No doubt she boarded another flight and it arrived safely.....luckily...

 

 

[M61A1]

Even if they weren't found before engine start she probably still would have thought herself lucky. Things would have gone bad very quickly, and then they would've said "lucky that happened before we took off".

It's all about First World 'Education' I guess . . .Friend of mine runs a business based just outside London. He supplies contract maintenence / cleaners for social housing projects when they have been vacated by the previous tenants.

 

He has found several cases of 'Fire Pits' chiselled into lounge room floors so that bushmeat may be cooked over an open fire. The tenants of each of these properties were ( reportedly ) from Sub Saharan Africa, where electric and gas cookers do not exist outside of big cities, and many people from these regions had never even seen kitchen appliances before..

 

These African people, along with the little Chinese Lady, were not barbarians, but simply acting in total innocence, based upon their experiences.

 

Remember Mel Gibson having a Buddhist Monk 'Bless' his aircraft before going on a mission in Air America ? ? same same I guess. . .

I have to wonder just what "bushmeat" they are eating in London. Do you need to keep an eye on your pets, or do homeless people go missing?

Oh no mate,. . .BUSHMEAT is available at street markets all over London and in several other large cities where African people are settled. . .gawd only knows what kind of animals that the 'Bushmeat' comes from . . .but it is available everywhere that African migrants gather. . . .as is KHAT . . .leaves from a particular African plant, which are chewed by most recent African immigrants. . . Khat contains a mild Drug, which produces a feeling of serene calm,. . .and most Nigerians, and others from the African continent chew it all day, all the time. . . .

 

When it is exhausted of it's drug, it is then spat out on the pavement, which then causes the risk of TB, which is a growing problem for the National Health Service in many big UK cities and smaller towns. . ., since Tuberculosis was eradicated in the UK some fifty years ago . . .now brought back into the country by totally uncontrolled immigration from third world countries. . . .

 

No good asking Angela Merkel about her open invitation to the third world. . . .nor the UK Government either . .. they are all 'Apparently' complcit in the 'Replacement of the white race' policy. I'm afraid. . . . so they don't really give a fcuk. . . . .God help Australia in this regard also. . . . It seems to be happening there also. . . .

There have been several media reports of male immigrants from Africa, in Australia, when several males were living together in Govt housing, being found starving, despite the cupboards being stocked with food for them.

 

Apparently the problem was, in their still-relatively-tribal culture back in Africa, the women do the cooking, it's abhorrent and beneath the men, for them to do cooking.

 

They are the hunters and warriors, the subservient women are the cooks.

 

So they had to teach them how to do some basic cooking, so they could survive.

 

Then the problem remains, trying to re-educate them to Western ideas and culture and living standards. Their driving standards are still African standards, too, unfortunately.

 

These people, having no skills and little education, are then obliged to seek out menial work such as shopping trolley collectors. Their highest aspiration generally is to become a taxi driver, and then be able to afford a taxi.

 

Stepdaughter caught a taxi home from Perth airport one night last year, the taxi driver was an African - and the back seat and boot of his taxi contained his clothing and bedding! He was utilising the taxi as his mobile home as well!

 

Needless to say, SD is pretty reluctant now, to catch taxis with dark-skinned drivers - despite she herself having a degree of African and Arab ancestry!

 

Despite reputedly strict controls and regulation, the standards in the taxi industry are really slipping, due to excessive numbers of immigrants from 3rd world countries, it's no wonder Uber got a foothold.

Glad you prefaced your comment with

 

"Several Media Reports"

 

As we all know the media appear to get it wrong more often than not.

 

It appears that they are not trying to improve their standards here.

Mm...and there have been several media reports of white immigrants and their descendants, having left their Mum but not yet located someone to replace her, stuck in the dunny for days and days, despite there being spare rolls in the laundry.........
