Image
I wander how come this was not reported in Malaysia? This news is an extracted from a Swedish news paper. On 3rd Nov @1355 Fredrik Granberg took a picture of MAS flight MH091 to KL with 279 passengers that took off with smoke on a engine. There was also something fell of the engine with a bang just before take of and was rerouted back to Arlanda airport (Stockholm, Sweden) 1 hour after take off. And he got 71,717 Kr (RM38,000.00) for the picture he took. The actual press report: Fredrik Granberg, 31, hade kameran redo, dokumenterade flyghaveriet och skickade de unika bilderna till Expressen. Han belönas nu med 71 717 kronor. Han får 71 717 kr för årets bildFörst sa det pang. Sen sa det klick.Årets läsarbild på flyghaveriet i Arlanda gör Fredrik Granberg 71 717 kronor rikare.- Det är en väldig ära att vinna, säger han. Bara sekunder efter starten på Arlanda, klockan 13.55 3 november i år, havererade vänstra motorn på den Boeing 777 som skulle flyga 279 passagerare på Malaysia Airlines f

Are we Serious About Our Emergency Medical Service?

(Pic taken with my camera phone) I was driving back from Melaka when I saw long traffic congestion and after some time I reached the spot that caused the long queue (A few KM after Alor Gajah exit towards Seremban maybe KM 292.0) . It was an accident! Not to be surprised with Malaysian who love to watch and comment and the note of the car number for gambling, I saw "POLIS BANTUAN" was there with the PLUS (highway Operator), that was a good sign. With them at the location I can assume the accident must have occurred at least 30 Min's ago. I pulled over and went to the location and there was a lady and a man assisting the lady who was injured in the accident. The man introduced himself as a doctor who was passing by, I felt relieved. Then I asked the PLUS guy if they have called for an ambulance. They said they called some time back but have not arrived. He also said this is common that they have to wait very long. The lady had head and leg injury and impact on arm and bac

Adam's Bridge ??

Image
Taken from a forwarded mail The recently discovered bridge currently named as Adam's Bridge made of chain of shoals, c.18 mi (30 km) long, in the Palk Strait between India and Sri Lanka, reveals a mystery behind it. The bridge's unique curvature and composition by age reveals that it is man made. The legends as well as Archeological studies reveal that the first signs of human inhabitants in Sri Lanka date back to the a primitive age, about 17,50,000 years ago and the bridge's age is also almost equivalent. This information is a crucial aspect for an insight into the mysterious legend called Ramayana, which was supposed to have taken place in tretha yuga (more than 17,00,000 years ago). In this epic, there is a mentioning about a bridge, which was built between Rameshwaram ( India ) and Srilankan coast under the supervision of a dynamic and invincible figure ! called Rama who is supposed to be the incarnation of the supreme. This information may not be of much importance !

AirCraft Landed At Cheras

Image
Hmmm what is this fellow doing here? The fighter just landed here or retired here .... hmmmm! Imagine, if we can find out who was the pilot and if he is still alive. What will he feel when he see the aircraft is still around and with all his memories. I am not sure how much he is spending for the maintenance, but I can see she is well taken care. Actually it retired here. I am not sure of the make and the model of the aircraft (will be glad if anyone can advice here). I did not ask the house owner of the history of the aircraft being there. But I am sure who ever installed it here is a lover of fighter aircraft. Hmm one day I hope to do the same at my house with a MiG or a F18 Hornet hahahahaha, dream on!
