The Internet Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Well, that was a bit of an anti-climax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Git Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Well, that was a bit of an anti-climax. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You'd prefer a bit of "crash and burning" for your entertainment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Internet Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 I'll have to eat these marshmallows cold now. lighten up, nothing happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Git Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 I'm not "heavy", I'm just a bit puzzled by your apparent disappointment that nothing happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Internet Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Well, OK. I'll try to put your mind at rest and then maybe you can move on. I was really hoping that Superman and Spiderman would come to the rescue, save the plane and then fight over who would receive the glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Git Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Gee, and there was me thinking you were just after a bit of vicarious entertainment at other peoples expense. Typo edit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Internet Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Well, I was. Spiderman's, obviously. Superman would kick his arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberalis Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Just listening to the news, and apparently it was a "Prop Brake" or something like that, kinda like brake pads on a car. It was said that they were stuck on and caused a bit of smoke, and as standard precaution, they call out the regular fire service as well as responding with their own team.

jim Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Someone says they heard on the radio that there is a "plane in a bad way trying to land" - whatever that means... LOL were on earth did that come from! Plane landed as normal without a problem, only once it was on stand and shutting down did problem occur.

The Old Git Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 So, a plane about to ditch is quite exciting to us. Did you find it an anti climax that nothing happened and nobody died? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
