Nude Vicar in Sex Drugs Orgy
Two stirring quotes from BBC website this morning!
"The pilot shut the engine down and sent out a distress call before dumping excess fuel and landing back at the airport." (This 757 must be fitted with a fuel dump facility!)
And:
"Although the aircraft is designed to fly on one engine in an emergency the pilot felt the damage should be checked out."
Cutting edge journalism!
