Plane flying over garden drops human waste on man
A man and his garden were left splattered in human excrement dropped from an aircraft in the UK.
The incident took place in the town of Windsor in mid-July but made the news recently after local Councillor, Karen Davies, brought it to the attention of the aviation forum of the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead.
She said the man’s “whole garden, and garden umbrellas, and him” were splattered in human waste dumped from a plane flying overheard.
John Bowden, the Councillor of Eton and Castle, suggested that warm weather might have had a hand in the incident, causing the excrement to “come out as a more ‘fluidy’ item” rather than a frozen block.
According to reports, the name of the airline responsible for the incident has not been released. Meanwhile, the man who was subjected to its unceremonious dumping of sewage decided not to pursue an insurance claim against the airline. – ndtv.com
A 98-year-old British World War II veteran, Harry Heasman officially became the world’s oldest wing walker when he stood atop a flying plane in England.
He spent more than 9 minutes atop the plane at a height of over 1,000 feet on Saturday at Duxford Airfield in Cambridge.
A Guinness World Records adjudicator was on hand to officially certify Heasman as the world’s oldest wing walker.
“I have dreamed of doing this since I was a young child and to finally live that dream at 98 years old and to be a Guinness World Records title holder is beyond anything I could have ever imagined,” Heasman told Guinness World Records.
The nonagenarian said he spent 11 months working with a physical trainer to get his body and mind ready for the attempt.
His record attempt raised money for the Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund and served as a tribute to his wife and son, who both died after battles with cancer.
“Harry is proof that it is never too late to chase a dream. At 98 years old, what he has achieved is nothing short of extraordinary. Over the last few months, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know him and seeing the determination behind this challenge,” said Lindsey Bidwell, a representative from the Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund.
