Farts Blamed For Emergency Landing

From news.com.au ...

Quote:

A SINGAPORE airlines Boeing 747 from Sydney was forced to make an unexpected stopover in Bali, after methane gas from the 2186 sheep on-board set off the fire alarm.

Full Story

The ATSB report should make interesting reading.

I'm sure there will be a whole series of one liners that go with this story.

2186 sheep on an aircraft ?!?

Paul, This was the new 30 abreast seating configuration - very cosy.

I believe the in-flight movie was "The Silence of The Lambs".

Seems like an expensive way to move sheep.

Goats (Shep's favourite) and cattle are regularly sent by freighters. I haven't seen many sheep shipments, but I guess there's a legitimate reason....

To avoid animal welfare groups (I say this tongue in cheek).

Gives new meaning to the title "cattle class".
