off-topic/Flying cows
-----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.

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.
