Ouch !

"Crews on Sunday will attempt to remove three Boeing 737 fuselages that tumbled down a steep bank and into the Clark Fork River in western Montana after a train derailed. Montana Rail Link spokeswoman Lynda Frost said Saturday that it's unclear the type of challenge involved because it's the first time the company has faced such a task.
No one was injured when 19 cars from a westbound train derailed Thursday about 10 miles west of Alberton. The cause of the derailment is under investigation.
The train carried six fuselages. Three others also fell off but stayed on land. Frost says Boeing has had workers at the scene assessing the damage.
The fuselages were headed to Renton, Washington, to be assembled into completed airliners."

I flew yangon airways a few years back, I don't think they're still around though.

I loved our paper tickets!

They stopped flying for a while in 2010 but came back, still a no go if your a US citizen.

Yangon Airways still exist. I reside in Myanmar (back in Adelaide for a bit). Flew them in March, and was quite surprised by their in flight service, was surprisingly quite decent. More and more airlines starting up, but safety is always in the back of your mind as some have a poor reputations. And the tickets are still exactly like in your photos, only a couple use internet based booking systems, given the lack of communication infrastructure in the country, and flying with them (cost wise) is comparable to Adelaide to Sydney, for a Yangon to Mandalay flight which is about half the distance.

This plane is now a cafe in Nay Pyi Taw (Myanmar capital city) and has good cheap coffee for about 90 cents eqv. It crash landed a few years ago from what I was told (I think in 2010). Think it was a Myanma Airways jet, but no idea of what type/brand of plane.

Some from OLP today. Decent crosswind. Trying to find my airliners.net login, as I have a few other pictures they might accept (or might not).

Such a shame about the Singapore photo - that would have been such a great shot.

Would just want to make me scream! :evil:

That was actually the third photo in sequence for the takeoff. The other 2 don't have the post, but aren't as good as this one would have been without the post.
