Fools unite! Jesus is back!
Next time I am in Sydney, I must remember to grab a can of paint and a brush and head down to Waverton station.http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,21023886-5001021,00.html
For at this station, the misguided and the weak in our society are gathering to witness the result of years of poor maintenance. I think I should do my bit and give the platform a long overdue coat of paint.
Those whose lives are empty, requiring some kind of faith for fulfillment, believe that Jesus has returned in the form of paint, brick and filthy brake dust.
That's right folks, these nutters are up in arms, praising that fictional character Jesus as he appears before them just metres away from the railway tracks.
While we are on the subject of religious garbage, here is an article worth a read....

Yep. Them media journalists is smart.
About as pathetic as the mis-use of English in title of this post, (and throughout all my blogs), are journalists. Before reading the rest of my post, please read the offending article in here.....

Now for some facts.
"Channel 7 reported that tyre debris tore a "huge hole", "three-metres long", in the jet's fuselage"
FACT:- If there were a "huge hole" in the fuselage, it would have been impossible for the aircraft to maintain a cabin altitude of approximately 8000ft. Above this altitude, passengers would require oxygen. This scenario is highly unlikely to have occurred, as the aircraft traveled SAFELY from Singapore to Frankfurt.
FACT:- If there were a "huge hole" in the fuselage, there would be catastrophic metal fatigue such that the fuselage would have torn apart mid flight, causing the aircraft to crash.
I do not know the full facts of this incident, however, it is highly likely that the "huge holes" sustained during the tyre blow out, were to the wing to body fairings. (See diagram from the Boeing website. The green areas would have sustained damage).
These are composite panels, mounted beween the fuselage and the wings to improve aerodynamics. They are made of materials such as kevlar and carbon fibre on most aircraft.
Damage to these areas do NOT pose serious danger to the airworthiness of the aircraft however, damage may increase drag and therefore, reduce fuel efficiency. BIG FUCKEN DEAL.
How do I know this? Because I work on these planes.
This is yet another typical example of journalists mis-reporting the facts.
