Goats sacrificed to fix Nepal jet

I like how they stated that the plane was not having any more problems. They didn't say it passed all tests or completed a test flight. No, they flew it to Hong Kong and decided it was ok after that.

From BBC News:

"Nepal's state-run airline has confirmed that it sacrificed two goats to appease a Hindu god, following technical problems with one of its aircraft. "

"The offering was made to Akash Bhairab, the Hindu god of sky protection, whose symbol is seen on the company's planes. The airline said that after Sunday's ceremony the plane successfully completed a flight to Hong Kong. "
