February 22, 2008 By: Bolkie Category: emergency, funny, odd, stupid No Comments →

 

The American FAA, or Federal Aviation Administration, is investigating a report that two pilots fell asleep during a domestic flight and flew right past the destination airport.

This is supposed to have happened during a flight from Honolulu to Hilo, both in the state of Hawaii, last Wednesday.

To the amazement of the air traffic controllers the airplane did not start the landing procedures when it was scheduled to make its planned landing. All attempts to make radio contact with the airplane’s cockpit kept failing for over 20 minutes.

The local officials suspect both pilots fell asleep during the flight and have asked for an investigation from by FAA.

A spokesman from the airplane’s airline, GO! Airlines, was fast to declare that the pilots were having technical difficulties with their radio equipment. This prevented them from sending any messages to air traffic control.

nescontroller An American gamer form Louisiana ended up in jail after he had dialed a wrong number. The 29-year-old Thomas Ballard had just ended his night of video-gaming when he decided to call his friend about his victories.

Still hyped about his achievements Ballard pressed in the wrong number and was connected to a rather  amazed woman. He then started yelling: “I have killed them all !”.

The woman was shocked, wrote down Ballard’s number and called the police. When the police arrived at the gamer’s residence there was not a single dead body to be found. They soon realized it was all a misunderstanding. All Ballard had intended was to inform his friend about all the ‘bad guys’ he had killed that night, while playing the video game.

Unfortunately for Ballard, he was arrested though. He had neglected to pay a fine he had received 5 years ago. He received that fine for possession of cocaine.

In Lodz, the second biggest city in Poland, streetracing is now somewhat allowed at night. The police will cordon off some areas so the speed junkies can go their merry way.  This plan is intended to lower the number of fatal car crashes in the rest of the city, because the youngsters will race in a controlled area.

The police had to come up with some plan while illegal streetracing caused havoc throughout the city every night.

“We made an agreement with the organizers of the illegal streetraces, ” tells the leader of one of the official motor clubs in Lodz, “Now they race in closed off streets, while the cops can keep an eye on them. In exchange for this privilege they promised to stop speeding on other public roads in the city.

The Polish press rejects the plans. They say the government should not give in to the demands of ’street racing scum’.
