old man emu Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I remember the time during the "Troubles" an IRA bloke died from third degree burns to the lips. . . . . . . . . Seems his mission was to blow up a London Bus, and his lips stuck to the exhaust pipe. OME 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eightyknots Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Should this thread be in "Aviation Laughter"? Is this a serious story? How can biting another passenger lead to the biter's death? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eightyknots Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Ash...the cunning airline. I am sure that Lingus in Irish Gaelic must means something, perhaps smooth or comfortable. That would make Aer Lingus translate to "smooth flight" or "comfortable flight" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man emu Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 "Lingus" as in "Aer Lingus" is derived from the Irish 'aer loingeas' meaning" air fleet". Later reports say that five commercial-sized packages of Speed were found on the man's body. I wonder if he was travelling to Iceland?

xair1159 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 According to the TV news, the autopsy showed he had swallowed a considerable number (80!) packages of cocaine and one had burst. Not surprising he was off his head and subsequently died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnarly Gnu Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Hmmm, these Irish! "A pilot was forced to make an emergency landing after a drunk Irishman reportedly took off his clothes, swung his penis around and demanded sex with a flight attendant." Commercial passenger air travel has changed somewhat over the decades since it became a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
