i’m not kidding – this is a real story from a few days ago. here’s the link in the age. the headline is: Aussie mozzies cause cockpit chaos on NZ flight
yes. u heard that. not kidding this is straight from the article:
Six potentially disease-carrying mosquitoes swarmed through the cockpit of a Christchurch-bound plane on Sunday, biting an Australian pilot before being destroyed.
Three mosquitoes were squashed before the flight from Brisbane landed at Christchurch International Airport and another three were destroyed after arrival in the hangar.
Authorities say the invading insects were intercepted so posed no risk to the public.
chaos in the cockpit! oh my GOD! MOSQUITOS! biting a pilot! i’m surprised they didn’t turn the plane around & land asap. the use of the word squashed also puts me into fits of laughter. what else are they going to do???? shoot them? taser them? put them in handcuffs?
oh yesss… the fun u can have…
