It does beg the question what other creatures may have been flushed though....

Beheadings were a mistake? Must try that one  :thumbsup:

Don't bother, just give your name. The realisation that you are Gubberation, the fifth horseman, will be enough to get you out of pretty much any situation.  :thumbsup:

Anyone heard from TMR recently?  eeek:

http://metro.co.uk/2018/03/28/gatwick-ground-crew-member-run-passenger-plane-take-off-7424655/

 eeek:

Although you would think he would pass under it unscathed...  whistle:

How do you pass under a wheel unscathed when the plane is taxiing?  rubschin:
How the hell do you get your foot in the way of a jet?

Hopefully TMR can provide more details - hopefully not first hand (or should that be first foot)

I believe the chappy involved was on the headset - i.e. the bloke that walks adjacent to the pushback tug and gives instructions to the flight deck about the pushback. Once the plane is pushed out, the headset bloke advises the flight deck to "set parking brake" and then goes about removing the towing bar from the plane and tug. THE FIRST thing you do is place a chock under the nose wheel. Then you jack the bar up, unhook it at the tug end and then from the nose wheel. The bar can sometimes be a right pain to release from the nose wheel.

Seems that he didn't put a chock under the nose wheel and whlist struggling to get the bar off from the nose wheel end turned himself facing away from the plane with his foot in line with the nose wheel.

What happened next is unclear - either the pilot released the parking brake before the pushback tug and headset bloke had vacated to the side of the runway OR the parking brake failed. Either way, the plane rolled forward under idle thrust and over his foot.

The AAIB are looking into it.

Jesus Christ! How many times are you going to torture this poor bastard, you've already taken him through 7 inquiries and each one has cleared him. Why the hell are you forcing him into an eighth one.  Banghead

I sometimes get little text alerts about news items.

One has just flooded in from the The Independent.

The woman who shot three people at YouTube and then blew her brains out was "angry", I am informed. ::)

Because the worrying case has never been resolved.  If he wants to make himself look guilty then this returning of medals and refusing to testify after his prior very sus testimony are two great ways to do it

The poor bastard in this case was the one that drowned
Well, whatever, nevermind
