M&M Rappel

It was a boring day in Secondary School when Ian (or was it Josh?) decided to tie a long string on an M&M’s toy and lower it down the window to dangle outside of the classroom directly below ours.

Unfortunately, it was kidnapped when one of the guys reached out and grabbed it. We then had to go down to negotiate for its release.

Skidding off the runway

P7150843

The landing was done in the midst of a brewing storm that was fast approaching. It was made all the more dangerous because we had to wait for this irresponsible couple who totally disobeyed the plane boarding time and we had to wait a long time for them to get on board.

I suppose the plane either didn’t have both wheels make full contact with the runway or a strong gust of wind blew it off track. In a flash, the plane had run off the runway and just stopped short of a ditch! In this picture, you can see that the wheels had sunk into the sand.
