In a rapid response to terrorist cow dumping reported over the Pacific Ocean, the United States Congress has passed and sent on to the President for his signature a law making it illegal to drive cattle from flying aircraft over any territory of the United States. President Clinton has previously stated he will sign such a bill sent to him. |-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- | |I just had to forward this...<G> |(translated from a german newsservice) | | -=> Quoting In:germnews@listserv.gmd.de to Harka <=- | |Last Page: Flying cow sinks japanese fishing boat | |Wladiwostok. A cow fell out of an airplane before the siberian coast |and smashed onto japanese fishing boat, causing it to sink. That |reported the German Embassy in Moscow in an internal note to the |[german] State Department. | |Appearantly a russian military plane was flying over the Ochotskian |sea with stolen cows on board; the cows started panicking and made |the airplane instable in it's flight - they weren't tied to the |walls. Therefore the pilots used the last possibility: they opened |the back door and moved the cows out of the machine. One of the cows |hit a japanese fishing boat and turned it over. The crew could save |themselves to the coast, where they were arrested by russian guards, |who wouldn't believe the cow story - until an investigation proved |it valid. | |A russian official responsible for traffic is supposed to have |mentioned this case to the German Embassy as a strange example for |the terrible condition of russian flight safety. The State |Department would neither confirm nor deny the incident. | | |Ciao | |Harka [snip] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 4.5 iQCVAgUBM2X5PSKJGkNBIH7lAQFe8AQAjDrIgGI9WJjySNHhAAtJj8isPcRAykXp RaiIHsLi4ArhehOy7NkhvqIO6wuXwqGT11ay7UkcHpXFaOD+lH5t4r6we55cTMkb 5AumOVCbm21gu/mR6UsDNThCxV9CxbIXT14W8/h2gjlkAP7eMsEhXwY0+PIkKLdc GSZFbXEp0oY= =+J+a -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
