Date: Fri, 19 Sep 1997 14:28:22 -0700 From: "Anitra, Dances With Dragons" Subject: EXER: Rat closes airport >From Risks Digest (http://catless.ncl.ac.uk/Risks/) "A rat caused a short circuit on 12 Sep 1997 by urinating on a high-power cable at Barranquilla airport in Colombia. This knocked out communications between the control tower and incoming aircraft, and caused the airport to shut down for almost an hour. [Reuters, 5 Sep 1997]" They don't mention what happened to the rat. Any suggestions? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is no truth that cannot be turned into a lie if you just | WRITE ON! take it seriously enough. ~~ There is no lie that won't become | Anitra L. more dangerous if you just take it a little more seriously. ~~ | Freeman -------------------------------------------------------------------------- anitra@speakeasy.org http://www.speakeasy.org/~anitra
