#2 MALAYSIA > FATWA issued agz ghosts, spooks, and assorted spirits. Intent is to preclude good Muslims from forming belief in non/anti-Allah "supernatural or superstitious" beliefs. OTOH, NO MENTION OF AFFECT ON WEIRD-LOOKING FUNGI FRUIT OR TALKING PIGS, ETC. i.e. ISLAMIC MIRACLES "WORTHY OF BELIEF"???

#3 Insh'allah. If the plane flies, it flies. If it crashes, it was Allah's will. There is nothing that us humble mechanics can do about it.

#4 India issued a NOTAM a week before regarding its series of missile tests.

Well, Indonesia's Garuda Air flew into the flight envelope of the Agni-3 ICBM and had to be chased away by ATC.

Singapore ATC said they knew about the tests. PaK knew about them, everybody except Indonesia.

#5 Is there a single person here who didn't know this, or at least suspect it already. You couldn't pay me enough to ride an indonesian airliner.
