At times we may forget where we place / keep our phone, keys or important document, but I believe all those car owners here would not have forgotten where you leave your car at (at most is forgetting which level or lot they parked their car at in those huge multistorey or basement carpark). But the subject in this article is a plane, a multi-millions $$$ plane, how can it be? That's why champion lor, and the also the 6 digits sum for the parking fees. Hahahaha Air India reportedly hit with S$144,000 parking fee for airplane it forgot for 13 years Source: https://mothership.sg/2025/12/air-india-forgotten-plane/ An Air India Boeing 737-200 was removed from Kolkata Airport on Nov. 14, 2025. It had been parked there since 2012, since it was decommissioned. According to Indian media reports , the Air India CEO told employees in an internal note that the plane had "effectively disappeared" from their "formal awareness". "Though disposal of an old aircraft is not unusual, this one is, for it's an aircraft that we didn't even know we owned until recently!" This was reportedly due to it slipping out of the ledgers during Air India's privatisation three years ago. According to The Economic Times, the parking fee for the 13 years it was parked in the airport amounted to 10 million Indian Rupees (S$144,131.70). The aircraft was delivered to Air India in September 1982.

They should try doing the same survey in Japan. Confirm not so boring. Disclaimer: Not Tiko Thread. For serious discussion only. https://sg.entertainment.yahoo.com/news/plane-cab-american-sex-fantasies-revealed-105943047.html Most Americans aren't as daring as their fantasies, reveal the results of a survey by condom brand Durex, but "sexploration" is thriving, most notibly in transport. In celebration of National Orgasm Day, which took place Thursday in the US, Durex released the results of a survey on Americans' fantasy-versus-reality orgasm experiences, involving 1,000 participants over age 21. Cliché sex fantasies involving beaches and movie theaters abound, although notable was that while only 23 percent of participants fantasized about having an orgasm in a car, 36 percent said they'd found themselves in that situation. The library was the setting of orgasm fantasies for 15 percent of participants, although "sex in the stacks," as it is referred to by college students, has become a legend in campus culture. Putting the airplane cliché to rest, 30 percent of respondents said they fantasized about having an orgasm in a plane, yet only five percent admitted to being members of the Mile High Club. Other locales revealed to be highly idealized by thrill seekers include clothing store fitting rooms, where 22 percent of participants admitted to fantasizing about having an orgasm, while 28 percent said they would prefer it in the office and 20 percent fantasized about having sex on a roof or balcony. However, only five percent of participants could boast of having realized their roof or balcony fantasies. Other notable results included the back of a cab, where 16 percent fantasize about having an orgasm, while 10 percent fantasize about the subway and only two percent have actually lived it. Seven percent fantasize about orgasms in church. Eight percent fantasize about orgasms in a cemetery, but only three percent have realized the fantasy. It is illegal to have sex in public areas in the US, although Durex executives created the survey to encourage partner communication, for 93 percent of those surveyed said a trusted partner makes for more intense orgasms. Survey respondents said they found the home a perfectly galvanizing place for "sexploration," with 54 percent of respondents saying they enjoy sex in the shower and 35 percent admitting to sex in the kitchen.

Unbelievable action taken after a flight was over booked. How could this have taken place when it is not anyone's fault but the airline?

The silver lining is the rest of the people on the plane survived... Can't imagine what went through their mind from the time it happened, until the time the plane managed to land... http://www.straitstimes.com/world/united-states/southwest-plane-makes-emergency-landing-in-philly-damage-to-exterior Southwest Airlines plane's engine explodes in mid-air; woman passenger killed after nearly sucked out of window PHILADELPHIA (REUTERS) - An engine on a Dallas-bound Southwest Airlines flight with 149 people aboard apparently exploded on Tuesday (April 17), forcing an emergency landing in Philadelphia as one passenger was killed after she was nearly sucked out a window of the plane, the airline and federal officials said. The fatality on the flight from New York was the first in a US commercial aviation accident since 2009, according to National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) statistics. After an engine on the plane's left side blew, it threw off shrapnel, shattering a window and causing cabin depressurisation that nearly pulled out a female passenger, according to witness accounts and local news media reports.

At least 257 people were killed on Wednesday when a military plane crashed near the Algerian capital, Algiers, state media reported. The aircraft crashed near the Boufarik air base, between Algiers and the city of Blida. Ten of those killed were the plane crew, according to state-run Radio Algérie. It was not immediately clear whether there were any survivors. It is the deadliest plane crash since 2014, when 298 people were killed after a Malaysian airlines jet was shot down over Ukraine. Algerian TV station Ennahar showed images of smoke rising from the plane's fuselage, tilted to one side, with part of the aircraft sticking out above olive trees. Dozens of bodies were seen in numbered bags as paramedics and firefighters worked at the crash site. Cranes at the site have begun trying to move some of the debris. One man told Ennahar he was at home when he heard an explosion, and drove with a neighbor to the site, where they tried to put out the fire and reach victims. "We saw bodies ... it was a catastrophe," he said. "We were afraid the plane would explode. We covered some bodies and put out some fires." Algeria has a shaky aviation safety record. In 2014, a Hercules C-130 carrying members of the country's air force and their families crashed in Algeria's east, killing 77 people. That same year, an Air Algérie flight crashed in Mali while flying between Bukina Faso and Algeria, killing all 116 people on board. https://edition.cnn.com/2018/04/11/africa/algeria-plane-crash-intl/index.html

Not sure where to put this developing tragedy... has been going on since morning... but it's mostly confirmed now. 76 dead, 5 survive. Plane was also carrying the Chapesoense football team to Colombia for the Copa Sudamericana final against Colombian side Atlético Nacional. This was a fairy tale season for them as they'd been promoted to the top flight in 2014 only. Read somewhere else that they were supposed to travel in their own chartered plane but was refused permission by Brazil authorities. So they had to switch to this tragic flight. https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2016/nov/29/brazilian-team-chapecoense-onboard-plane-that-crashed-over-colombia-latest Daily Mail has more pictures http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3980974/Plane-carrying-72-passengers-including-Brazilian-football-team-crashes-Colombia-reports-say.html -

At least four people have been killed in a military plane crash near Seville airport in Spain. The plane, a new Airbus A400M, reportedly developed a fault just after take-off on a test flight. Local media say that those on board were Spanish Airbus employees. Two have also been seriously injured. Spain's Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has expressed his sorrow over the incident which took place about 1.6km (1 mile) away from San Pablo airport. Local media say that the plane had signalled that there was a fault with its systems just before the crash. he plane reportedly hit an electric power line as the pilots tried to make an emergency landing. The survivors have been taken to hospital by helicopter. A Spanish interior ministry spokesman told The Associated press news agency that one person had been conscious when they were taken out of the wreckage. Mr Rajoy said the government was ready to support the families of all of those involved in the accident. The accident took place in a field just north of San Pablo airport. According to local media, the crash site is close to the Airbus manufacturing plant which assembles the planes. The Airbus A400M plane model is not yet used by the Spanish military. It is a large transport aircraft that has been ordered by eight countries including Spain to replace a fleet of ageing Hercules aircraft. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-32673713
