Redplate Special Exclusive

I just got an e-mail from a friend. We went to highschool together. Surfed together. Partied together, in fact his old nickname out of highschool was Party Hamster. Let's just say he couldn't hold his liquor.

He went to work at Mc Douglas in Long Beach Ca. building MD-80's. He was working there forever...until Iraq.

You want to know what he did? He hired on to the Dept. of Defense. They shipped him straight to Baghdad International. And he was loving it. Then they shipped him to Tikrit. Saddam's hometown. So he's making 250,000+ Us dollars/year working on Very deadly Helicopters.

So he's there for Three years...sans family in Alabama. So I got to see him a couple times when he's out here visiting his Mom. Says he's back for good....until....

"RICK , I AM GOING BACK TO THE MIDDLE EAST. I AM LEAVING THE US ON AUGUST 20TH OR SO. WAS GOOD TO SEE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AGAIN! TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND I WILL BE STAYING IN TOUCH. DC AKA PARTY HAMSTER."

Ya know what?....No more Party hamster...You are Officially a MAN..hamster.

So....he has connections in The 'ME'...They send him this e-mail..

THE TALE OF THE ARAB FLIGHT CREW
16 May 2008

"The brand spanking new Airbus 340-600, the largest passenger airplane ever built, sat in its hangar in Toulouse , France without a single hour of airtime. Enter the Arab flight crew of Abu Dhabi Aircraft Technologies (ADAT) on November 15, 2007 to conduct pre-delivery tests on the ground, such as engine run-ups, prior to delivery to Etihad Airways in Abu Dhabi.

The ADAT crew taxied the A340-600 to the run-up area. Then they took all four engines to takeoff power with a virtually empty aircraft. Not having read the run-up manuals, they had no clue just how light an empty A340-600 really is.

The takeoff warning horn was blaring away in the cockpit because they had all 4 engines at full power. The aircraft computers thought they were trying to takeoff but it had not been configured properly (flaps/slats, etc.). Then one of the ADAT crew decided to pull the circuit breaker on the Ground Proximity Sensor to silence the alarm.

This fools the aircraft into thinking it is in the air.

The computers automatically released all the brakes and set the aircraft rocketing forward. The ADAT crew had no idea that this is a safety feature so that pilots can't land with the brakes on.

Not one member of the seven-man Arab crew thought to throttle back the engines from their max-power setting, so the $200 million, brand-new aircraft crashed into a blast-barrier, totaling it.

The extent of injuries to the crew is unknown, for there has been a news blackout in the major media in France and elsewhere. Coverage of the story was deemed insulting to Moslem Arabs. Finally, the photos are starting to leak out."

I don't think I've seen anything about this.

So...This is an Exclusive on TMR...Shout it out.
