Next up, Man Eats Breakfast in Morning Before Work.

A source close to the individual, believed to be his wife, stated that he "put on his shirt just like every day, but had to think which tie to wear."

Researchers claim that ties are the most common neck accessory for male office workers.


There, I'm ready to work for the Mail!!! By the way...how does a road have a heart??

[HEATHROW DIRECTOR]

The DM really is the pits. I wonder what an "extreme" airport is?

[Capetonian]

The Daily Mail can today reveal for the first time that England and Wales have more rain than the Namib Desert.

Incident at Humberside earlier in year where a drunken former employee drove car onto airfield. Runway incursion etc. before scarpering.

KLM flight inbound from AMS, able to hold for further seven minutes BEFORE diverting to LBA/DSA/MAN or wherever, was on 'it's last drops of fuel'.

Next week in Maily Dail:-
"Photos reveal how tunnels undermine runway at Heathrow"

[Capetonian]

"Photos reveal how tunnels undermine runway at Heathrow" They have another use too, it's where they store the chemicals for the chemtrail spraying.
A shocking DM in-depth investigation will be published soon.

[ZOOKER]

But surely, people must live close to this extreme airport........
How much are their houses worth?

I don't know but the DM is and extreme newspaper ... :hmm:

[Above The Clouds]

And all those people crossing an active runway with no high viz jacket on, how can that be possible with today's health and safety :rolleyes:

[Planemike]

May indicate we don't really need them.

RAF Ballykelly in Co Antrim used to have a railway line :eek: cross theirs IIRC.......

[RedhillPhil]

When I was traincrew based at Cambridge we used to have to call the control tower at Oakington before passing by with a freight train - didn't apply to passenger trains.

[DaveReidUK]

RAF Ballykelly in Co Antrim used to have a railway line cross theirsReputedly the only airfield in the world where there's been an instance of a cow getting killed by a train on the runway. :O

[MonarchOrBust]

Wait till they learn that Clacton International* Airstrip has a walkway used by pedestrians going right across the runway!

International cos it's by the coast and thus provides easy access for any illegal immigrant with a C152 :E

[oldpax]

Luckily for me the "mail"has upset the the military regime here in Thailand so I cannot access it!!

Sydney airport used to have a train line crossing the main N/S runway.

Then, one poor-viz day, the holes in the swiss cheese lined up and a DC3 on take-off collided with a freight locomotive crossing that runway.
Guess who came off second best?

Then, one poor-viz day, the holes in the swiss cheese lined up and a DC3 on take-off collided with a freight locomotive crossing that runway.Described, with photos, here:

:: The Spirits of Ansett (http://www.spiritsofansett.com/history/train.html)

though the account suggests that the DC-3 was taxying at the time, having lined up for the wrong runway (04/22, the one crossed by the railway).

Aircraft is forced to abandon first landing due to strong winds at Portugal's Madeira Airport.
A pilot struggled to land a passenger jet in strong winds at Madeira Airport in Portugal (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/portugal/) on Thursday.

Footage shows the Transavia Boeing plane flying towards the runway before the pilot suddenly lifts the nose of the plane.

The pilot continued to fly the aircraft and then made another attempt at landing.

Almost worthy of the Daily Mail, but this was in the Telegraph, whose journalistic standards seem to be giving the Mail some competition.

[Level bust]

The worrying thing is, when you see the standard of reporting on a subject that you know about, what rubbish are they reporting on subjects you no little about.

It's not just the Daily Mail that is guilty, they all are.

[bobward]

At least the good people in Gib seem to take notice of the stop signs, unlike some of the morons in UK and the rail crossings......:=

[Stanwell]

Dave Reid,
Thanks for the details on the Sydney DC3 runway/railway acccident.

Cheers.
