Man Avoids Missing Flight, Calls in Bomb Threat to Airport

A Delhi man, stuck in traffic and scared he was going to miss his flight, realized that in order to delay the plane long enough for him to reach the airport, he would have to call in a bomb threat. Apparently he didn’t realize that such calls from cell phones are easily traceable, or that those persons in close proximity (ie his taxi driver) can overhear what’s being said.

UFO style helicopter drones

Utilizing the Coanda effect to achieve it’s vertical flight patterns, the GFS-UAV from last year proved to be a pretty damn interesting experiment in air-flight and engineering. Having been tested by various military and private organizations, this one nifty little remote controlled spy-bot in the making. With silent running flight, some stealth skin and a long-range receiver and video transmission setup, I could see this little puppy flying over cities or large gatherings making people think the Xenu is preparing an invasion.

In-cabin photos of the Airbus A380 superjumbo


Airbus A380 with Emerites livery

The Airbus A380 is a monster in the aviation field, eclipsing the once king of the skies, the Boeing 747-400 in just about every measurable category (except fuel consumption perhaps). The A380 is a double-decker, four-engined airliner, nicknamed “The Superjumbo”, manufactured throughout Europe by Airbus S.A.S. The double decker fuselage design extends the length of the plane, allowing for 50% more floor space than the 747-400, which means they can now pack in up to 853 passengers in the all-economy configuration, finally bringing that lovely economy-slaughterhouse feeling to the skies. The Airbus made it’s maiden commercial test voyage earlier this year.

Experience high-class air-flight, A380 style after the jump..
