American Helicopter (Osprey) Fail at the G20 in Australia

submitted by eric3579

9 years 5 months 2 weeks ago

Way to make a first impression America.

While practicing takeoffs and landings in Brisbane ahead of this weekend's G20 summit, an Osprey U.S. military helicopter accidentally blew large dust clouds into 6 lanes of nearby traffic, causing a standstill.

Fortunately no accidents were reported, according to The Courier Mail.

In related news, Australia now hates us.

Ospreys are useless, an utter failure of machinery that has proven its uselessness time and again and yet we continue to poor millions into its development, all in an attempt to replace the helicopter.

Haven't they ever heard of the saying 'if it aint broke, don't fix it'?

I'm pretty sure the conversation was:

"Crikey, where's all the dust coming from?"
"It's those helicopters."
"Fucking yanks... oy! Those are Osprey!"
"Wicked."
"Cool..."
"Quick, get that pic on Instagram!"

I believe that it is "If it ain't broke it can probably still be fixed."

Funny Australian protest due to Abbott leaving climate change off the agenda at G20

This is the official Australian position on climate change, at least the one held by the nincompoops in Canberra.

Face down, ass up, that's the way we like to protest!

Erm, it should be noted we're coming off an incredibly dry winter and Australian authorities would have designated the landing zone... So, host country or organiser fail perhaps?
