TMR's all new "Tales from the Underworld" thread

[Snoopy]

In the right ciurcumstances chiles give off tangible heat. It appears that the Virgin A330 that made an emergency landing last week did so because the forward hold sensors picked up a higher-than-to-be-expected heat reading, thus possibly pointing to a fire.

Actually, there were 4 tonnes of powdered chile peppers that somehow got damp and started exuding heat 

Rememver folks, spicy cooking is bad for aviation...

And who loaded them in there...? 

And, why/how did they get damp? Enquiring minds want to know!

TMR prolly got "caught short".

Can't stand the whining fat overpaid git personally, that's Chiles not TMR of course.

Swissport loaded the container onto the plane. World Freight Services were responsible for packaging the container. Nothing to do with our lot.

However, in my dealings with both the aforementioned companies, I have found the majority of their staff to be several sandwiches short of the full picnic!

Whereas you are just short....

Morning brief from the Duty Manager - "make sure you are highly visible on the ramp, as one of our colleagues got run over yesterday".

And who was it?  The Health + Safety numpty...

Hahahahaha!

That brought back a memory I'd actually forgot about... September 1975, induction day at the College of Building, "well we would introduce you to the H & S advisor, but he's currently off sick after fallling off a ladder".

At our place the transport yard doors are plastered with notices declaring: "Danger - moving vehicles"

Well, call me naive if you like, but, I'd not expect stationary vehicles to present much of a hazard, unless, of course, you walk into one!

So, the notice would seem to be a bit superfluous in my opinion!

The H+S bloke in question is extremely unpopular.

We are having a whip round - for the BA driver...

Sooooo....

Last job of the night - unload the A320 from Corfu, 129 bags, no dramas.

We've unloaded the rear hold and are midway through the front hold when the aircraft technician pops his head up and tells us they are going to do smoke detector tests in the rear hold - we will hear an alarm from the cabin, but carry on. No dramas.

As usual, it's me in the hold chucking the bags and my colleagues stacking them on the lorry.

Suddenly the alarm goes off and about a second later there's a BANG! in the front hold where I am and the extinguishers go off - not water, some sort of gas that immediately fills the entire hold in a fog of presumably fire retardant gas. I nearly shit meself and just bolted out, landing on one of my colleagues as I jumped out.

I don't know what that stuff was, but my ciggies taste odd ever since. I think the technician is in for a bit of a bollocking...

Well, at least it can't stunt your growth!
