Flushed with Anger -- Sky Toilet Horror
OSLO (Reuters) - An American woman had no need to fasten her seatbelt
on a flight from Scandinavia to the United States after a high-pressure
vacuum flush sealed her to the toilet seat of the transatlantic airliner.
The woman filed a complaint with Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS)
after her ordeal on a Boeing 767 flight last year. She got sucked in
after pushing the flush button while seated, activating a system to
clean the toilet by vacuum, the airline said Monday.
``She could not get up by herself and had to sit on the toilet until
the flight had landed so that ground technicians could help her get
loose,'' a SAS spokeswoman told Reuters. ``She was stuck there for quite
a long time.''

The Airbus was preparing for a
test flight from the Thai AirwaysInternational maintenance area
at BKK.
The MD11 was doing an engine run. The only people in the cockpit
ofthe MD11 were maintenance engineers. About five of them.
They had the wheels chocked and the brakes on. They ran all three
engines at full power as part of their engine run!!!
None of them noticed the aircraft, with brakes on and wheels chocked,sliding
across the tarmac - leaving heavy skid marks - which were visible
for months after!! Suddenly the cockpit went dark and they looked
up.
The wing of the Airbus rode over the top of the MD11 cockpit,
where it split and spilt several tonnes of fuel into the interior
of the MD11.
The Airbus was so severely damaged that it didnt fly again.
It was sold as scrap.
The MD11 was repaired over quite some months by McDonnell-Douglas."
