Nepal's state-run airline has confirmed that it sacrificed two goats to appease a Hindu god, following technical problems with one of its aircraft.

Nepal Airlines said the animals were slaughtered in front of the plane - a Boeing 757 - at Kathmandu airport.

The offering was made to Akash Bhairab, the Hindu god of sky protection, whose symbol is seen on the company's planes.

The airline said that after Sunday's ceremony the plane successfully completed a flight to Hong Kong.

"The snag in the plane has now been fixed and the aircraft has resumed its flights," senior airline official Raju KC was quoted as saying by Reuters. (daily Gut)

I would opt for a couple of good mechanics with a full tool-belt. This is almost amazing to me...this blend of technology and idolatry. As for me, I would be goosey about flying   Nepal.

  I wonder if the god's  are laughing......and as for the goats....I only hope they got et   after all this.
