F1 crash

Puts me in mind of the quote I read earlier from the captain of BA Flight 09 when all 4 engines on his 747 failed due to flying through volcanic ash...

Which reminds me of this:

Posh and Becks were flying out on holiday when the plane’s Captain came on the tannoy to announce "Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking."
Posh said "David, it’s that Roy Keane !"
"No, it isn’t," said Beckham "Just listen."
"I have to tell you one of our engines has failed, but there is nothing to worry about. We have three engines left and our flight
will take an hour longer than scheduled," the Captain continued.
A little later, the Captain came on again. "One more engine has failed and the flight will now take an additional two hours. But
don’t worry, we can fly fine on just two engines."
About an hour on, the pilot addresses the passengers once more.
"Another engine has failed and we will therefore now be delayed three hours, but we are able to complete the flight on one engine."
At this point, Posh turns to Becks and said "Blimey, David. If we lose one more engine, we’ll be up here all day ." !!!

No, they managed to glide for.....oh, I see what you mean

Shh - don't spoil it. I don't know if anyone survived!!

The book is "All Four Engines Have Failed" if anyone is interested.

I have the book about the incident at home in the to read pile. I jokingly said to my wife that I would bring it away this week to read on the plane...

It's a cunning ploy to make formula one interesting. All teams will now be required to use clown cars.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control. I trust you are not in too much distress.

He try's to steer away from the wall.

Bus lost it's back wheel outside my house last year when the bolts sheared, obviously due to them not checking the nuts enough. Wheel flew off hitting my neighbours wall and flew across the road just missing a polce car coming in the other direction, copper said of the wheel had hit the car it probably could have killed one of them such was the force. Bolts were flying about as well and could have taken someones head off.

It was an el cheapo bus company with recks of buses run by a gangster for money laundering who I refused to use anyway. Shame I could not stop them driving up my road,

Buemi said: "From in the car it was not a problem. I just lost both wheels."

and later

There's not much to say about what happened. I braked, the wheels came off and that was it.

Any more laid back and he would be horizontal!!
