Engineers do anything to fix problem

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

Engineers do anything to fix problem

Post by genlock »

KATHMANDU (Reuters) - Officials at Nepal's state-run airline have sacrificed two goats to appease Akash Bhairab, the Hindu sky god, following technical problems with one of its Boeing 757 aircraft, the carrier said Tuesday.

Nepal Airlines, which has two Boeing aircraft, has had to suspend some services in recent weeks due the problem.

The goats were sacrificed in front of the troublesome aircraft Sunday at Nepal's only international airport in Kathmandu in accordance with Hindu traditions, an official said.

"The snag in the plane has now been fixed and the aircraft has resumed its flights," said Raju K.C., a senior airline official, without explaining what the problem had been.

I was just wondering what happened to the cat that hung around a station I used to work for. So that's why the signal got better.

At the old WCAW/WVAF tower across from the University of Charleston, the engineer used to sling the dead snakes over the barbed wire fence like notches on a gun.

I liked the rather toasty-one that slithered across legs 1&2 of the WKLC-FM three-phase.
