Stan Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Goats sacrificed to fix Nepal jet A goat offering is a holy act for Hindu devotees Nepal's state-run airline has confirmed that it sacrificed two goats to appease a Hindu god, following technical problems with one of its aircraft. Nepal Airlines said the animals were slaughtered in front of the plane - a Boeing 757 - at Kathmandu airport. The offering was made to Akash Bhairab, the Hindu god of sky protection, whose symbol is seen on the company's planes. The airline said that after Sunday's ceremony the plane successfully completed a flight to Hong Kong. "The snag in the plane has now been fixed and the aircraft has resumed its flights," senior airline official Raju KC was quoted as saying by Reuters. Nepal Airlines has two Boeing aircraft in its fleet. The persistent faults with one of the planes had led to the postponement of a number of flights in recent weeks. The company has not said what the problem was, but reports in local media have blamed an electrical fault.

Neil D Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Hmmmmmm....does flying on this plane infer that you may agree with Hindu religion? Or that, at the very least, the Hindu God of sky protection needs to be appeased from time to time? Quote Democracy is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve.
