Ooops sorry should read the actual title!

....and quote:
"The Boeing 757 came to a sudden and frightening halt as it charged down the runway and Celtic operations manager Ronnie Hawthorn explained to the passengers what was happening.
"The air speed indicator wasn't working and so he didn't know what speed he was doing on the runway and aborted take-off," said Hawthorn.
"Many things can cause this, such as a blockage caused by a bird or something simple".
Terrifying stuff for all concerned. Sorry, shouldn't take it this way really...but do we have to go overboard YET again?
