Airline sacrifices goats to appease sky god
Airline sacrifices goats to appease sky god

KATHMANDU (Reuters) - Officials at Nepal's state-run airline have sacrificed two goats to appease Akash Bhairab, the Hindu sky god, following technical problems with one of its Boeing 757 aircraft, the carrier said Tuesday.

Nepal Airlines, which has two Boeing aircraft, has had to suspend some services in recent weeks due the problem.

The goats were sacrificed in front of the troublesome aircraft Sunday at Nepal's only international airport in Kathmandu in accordance with Hindu traditions, an official said.

"The snag in the plane has now been fixed and the aircraft has resumed its flights," said Raju K.C., a senior airline official, without explaining what the problem had been.

Local media last week blamed the company's woes on an electrical fault. The carrier runs international flights to five cities in Asia.

It is common in Nepal to sacrifice animals like goats and buffaloes to appease different Hindu deities.

I think I flew that airline back in 1989. As I was getting on the plane, I kid you not, they handed me a bag of mail and asked me to deliver it on the other end. I think I'm entitled to a civil servant pension in Nepal now.

Did you feel an uncontrollable urge to go smoke some crack and then hide the mail under your porch for three years?

The mail never stops! It just keeps coming and coming, no matter what you do!
