......... and so this is why we had to wait in the Jakarta airport to get home.
A Lion Air airplane flying from Makassar, South Sulawesi Province, skidded off the runway at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport on Monday, but no passengers were injured during the terrifying ordeal. It was the latest in a string of incidents within the country’s troubled aviation industry.
Heavy rain which showered the Greater Jakarta area had caused the runway to become slippery, and at around 3:30 p.m. as the MD-90 aircraft was landing, it skidded across the runway, going into a 180-degree spin before eventually stopping tail first in an open field.
Rescue workers immediately evacuated all 166 passengers and crew on board. Although traumatized by the ordeal, no one was hurt.
Looks like we're going to have the perfect weather day around here. Suns out, a few fluffy popcorn clouds and a nice bit of wind. Just like living in the tropics - this is half of what it's all about. Love it. Great way to do a day.
The "Girls Night Out" was a total success - at least as far as I can tell. Open House was great. Good pick. Next time though ....... maybe I won't stay out quite so late. Was a bit of a s-l-o-w start to my day today.
Today: Oh heck it's Friday the 13th. Again? And possibly a BBC Night tonight.
Have some errands to run this afternoon and need to get out and collect some new pics. I should make a TO-DO-LIST too, but then that would just make way too much sense.
Good to Go!
