Guest guest Posted October 19, 1998 Report Share Posted October 19, 1998 These are two genuine news items that appeared recently on the CNN website: #1: CARACAS (Reuters) -- An unmanned Boeing 727 made an unauthorized trip, without getting airborne, at Simon Bolivar International Airport outside Caracas Wednesday. The aircraft, its engines off, somehow slipped out of its wheel blocks and rolled down a tarmac into three light planes, which sustained heavy damage, authorities said. #2: DARWIN, Australia (CNN) -- If you're hoping to make record time doing laps in the pool, perhaps you should consider employing a training technique that one swim instructor in Australia's Northern Territory claims yields record-breaking results: a crocodile. Swimming coach Mark Davies says his young swimmers are beating the clock, now that they're being chased by a hungry "croc." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
