Goat sacrifice fixes aircraft woes
Two goats have been sacrificed by Nepal Airlines officials in a bid to fix problems on one of their aircraft.
The sacrifice was carried out to appease Akash Bhairab, the Hindu sky god, following technical problems with one of its Boeing 757 aircraft, a Times of India report said.
The goats were sacrificed in front of the troublesome aircraft on Sunday at Nepal's only international airport in Kathmandu in accordance with Hindu traditions, an official said.
The problem had forced the suspension of some services in recent weeks.
Although the exact nature of the problem was not revealed, officials said that following the sacrifice the plane was fixed and had resumed flying.
Very reassuring . :\
