Very odd indeed<\/p>\n
I am referring to your article \"This ODD world\" in your paper
\nof Sept. 14 about a Wings Air flight that landed on the wrong
\nairport in Padang, West Sumatra.<\/p>\n
Generally \"This ODD world\" reports about innocent and
\nentertaining \"man-bites-dog\"-like incidents all over the world.
\nWell, it is very entertaining indeed to read that this aircraft
\nmade a most perfect landing on exactly the wrong airport, and
\njust on schedule at that.<\/p>\n
You did not forget to remind us of the recent air disaster in
\nneighboring Medan that killed 150 people. After this you light-
\nheartedly quote the Minangkabau Airport spokesman saying that the
\naccident happened because a passenger's mobile phone apparently
\ndisrupted the aircraft's navigational system when it was ready to
\nland.<\/p>\n
Very entertaining indeed to learn that a mobile phone could
\ncause such an eerily precise disruption to land an aircraft, just
\non schedule, on an airport that was closed two months ago. Drop
\nthe pilot!<\/p>\n
Do we really need more of this tongue-in-cheek-and-nothing-is-
\nwrong rubbish when people's lives are at stake?<\/p>\n
