James Dean run over

India's Jet Airways has voiced "sincere regret" and offered a lengthy public apology to the owner of a pet cat that was run over before boarding a flight from New Delhi to Singapore.

The contrite statement of more than 1000 words was posted on Facebook, explaining the circumstances around the "sad and tragic demise" of the cat called James Dean and promising a review of the airline's handling of animals.

The feline and its owner were to take a flight on Saturday, but James Dean leapt onto the tarmac and was run over by a vehicle before being loaded on to the plane.

The airline "minutely scrutinised and retraced the entire sequence of events" to ascertain the cause of the incident, according to the statement posted on Wednesday.

After going though closed-circuit camera footage, the airline "inferred that the pet forced itself out of the container by pushing the wire mesh and thereby creating a gap for it to come free".

"By the time our teams arrived at the accident site, the pet had passed away," said the airline, which added that it is trying to contact the owner personally to express its sorrow. Story

RIP Jim,

Fwed you a gold mine of useless information.

 

I couldn't help it on April first

What, fwed, I thought you could not believe a word that came from the Corporate owned News Ltd.

Fred how do you put the "story" in blue so it takes it directly to the article quoted?

vivity, when posting or replying, drag your cursor over the word/s you want to be the link - in this case "story"

then up above (where Bold, Italic etc are) to the left of the tree icon there is what looks like a link of a chain - click on that and in the box that pops up put in the url that you want the link to go to

The icon that looks like a broken chain link will remove any active links

Thank you fwed I will try it next time I am referring to something, but how do you know all this?

vivity, my humility and modesty prevent me from replying.

What would Mrs Slocum have done if it had been her pussy

I was very upset yesterday morning when I heard that YouTube was closing down, fell hook, line and sinker.

There are some sugestions it may be an April fool prank by Google but if they see they can make a dollar from it, guess it would no surprise me.
