Thats why God gave them camels

 That's why God gave them camels.

Anew Airbus 340-600, sits just outside its

hangar in Toulouse , France without a single 

hour on its engins.

Enter the Arab flight crew of Abu Dhabi Aircraft

Technologies (ADAT) to conduct

pre-delivery tests on the ground, such as engine

 run-ups, prior to delivery to

Etihad Airways in Abu Dhabi .

The ADAT crew taxied the A340-600 to the run-up area.


Then they took all four engines to takeoff power with

a virtually empty aircraft. Not having read the 

run-up manuals, they had no clue just how light an

 empty A340-600 really is.

The takeoff warning horn was blaring away

in the cockpit because they had All 4 engines

at full power. The aircraft computers thought

 they were trying to take off, but it had not

 been configured properly (flaps/slats, etc..)

Then one of the ADAT crew decided to pull the circuit

breaker on the Ground Proximity Sensor to silence the 

alarm. This fools the aircraft into thinking it is in the air. 

The computers automatically released all the brakes and

 set the aircraft rocketing forward.

The ADAT crew had no idea that this is a safety feature

so that pilots can't land with the brakes on.

Not one member of the seven-man Arab crew was

smart enough to throttle back the engines from their 

max power setting, so the $200 million brand-new aircraft 

crashed into a blast barrier, totaling it.

The extent of injuries to the crew is unknown due to

the news blackout in the major media in France and 
elsewhere. Because........

Coverage of the story was deemed insulting to Muslim Arabs.

Finally, the photos are starting to leak out.




One French Airbus: $200 million dollars
Untrained Arab Flight Crew: $300,000 Yearly Salary
Unread Operating Manual: $300
Aircraft meets retaining wall and the wall wins.

PRICELESS!!!
