Don’t Text and Fly
Confused Jetstar pilots forgot to lower the wheels and had to abort a landing in Singapore just 150 metres above the ground, after the captain became distracted by his mobile phone, an investigation has found.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau report on the May 27, 2010 incident on Flight JQ57, from Darwin to Singapore, reconstructed a scene of cockpit chaos.
The captain, of more than 13,000 hours flying experience, was distracted by incoming text messages on his phone, while the first officer, of more than 4000 hours experience, was probably fatigued, the report said.
There is a thing as too much bacon
For a limited time, Burger King’s Japanese branches are letting you pay ¥100 to add 15 strips of bacon to a burger instead of the usual deal of paying ¥60 for 3 strips. That alone sounds awesome (keeping in mind that Japanese fast food is tastier than its American counterparts), but it gets better.
You won’t see it on the English version of RocketNews24, which only tested out a burger with 105 strips of bacon (¥700 extra), but on their Japanese site, their reporter Mr. Sato tries out a burger with 1050 strips of bacon (¥7000 extra).
