The above tale reminded me off the one about the Russian transport aircraft moving live cattle from A to B when one of the bulls decided break out of it's pen. Soviet loadies manage to open tailgate and oik the beast out the back and thus save the plane.
Two miles below a lone trawler is fishing in the Caspian Sea, it's captain on the bridge-wing trying to work out what was going MoooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOO. He glanced up in time to see a couple of tons of living beef crash through his boat and set it sinking. Luckily he and his crew survive but, as he is the only one that saw the bull, no one will believe what happened. Without a boat, insurance money or any credibility, he later dies.
His claim, with his dying breath, that a falling bull had ruined him was dismissed as the ravings of a drunken madman.
It is only many years later that documents relating to the flight outline the dumping of a rampant bull, somewhere east of Tblisi, inorder to save the aircraft!
Do not believe all you read......
