Airline sacrifices goats to cure mechanical faults

Over at Tainted Ideals, Dogscratcher has a link to an article about the sacrifice of goats on the tarmac at Kathmandu airport in Nepal. Read “Let’s book a flight.” Would you fly on this airline?

The goats were sacrificed in front of the troublesome aircraft Sunday at Nepal’s only international airport in Kathmandu in accordance with Hindu traditions, an official said.

“The snag in the plane has now been fixed and the aircraft has resumed its flights,” said Raju K.C., a senior airline official, without explaining what the problem had been.
