ERMELO, South Africa -- A woman was sliced in two by a light
aircraft as she tried to cross a runway in northeast South
Africa.

Police said three women were running across the runway at Ermelo
on Monday when one of them was hit by the plane's left wing as
it came into land, Beeld newspaper reported.

Spokesman Captain Carla Prinsloo said the women were thought to
have been picking up wood in a plantation near the airfield when
the accident happened.

He said, "They took a shortcut over the airfield but one of the
women miscalculated and was hit by the plane's left wing."

The woman, believed to be in her late 50s, died instantly. The
pilot was unhurt.

Prinsloo said police were still waiting for the victim's family
to identify her body. An autopsy was due to be held Wednesday.

Local residents are thought to have put up ladders on both sides
of the airstrip and regularly climbed over them to cross the
runway.

Ha ha ha ha ha! It's Huckleberry Finn all over again:

Huck: "It warn't the grounding -- that didn't keep us back but a
little. We blowed out a cylinder-head."

Tom Sawyer's Aunt Sally:
"Good gracious! anybody hurt?"

Huck:
"No'm. Killed a nigger."

Aunt Sally:
"Well, it's lucky; because sometimes people do get hurt. Two years
ago last Christmas your uncle Silas was coming up from Newrleans on
the old Lally Rook, and she blowed out a cylinder-head and crippled
a man. And I think he died afterwards. He was a Baptist."

Well nonsense. You don't get "sliced in two" by the wing of a light
aircraft. Killed by blunt trauma, could be, but not cut in two.

You know that for a fact?? What if the woman was hit at 100 mph and
torn in two?? Would you feel better?

I'd feel better if there weren't nonsense posted on the Usenet, but I'd
also feel better if America's Republicans weren't total idiots, and
THAT'S not going to happen, so....

Small planes don't land at 100 mph. More like 80 mph max. Cut in two
ain't going to happen.

"A woman was sliced in two by a light aircraft"

*LIGHT* aircraft...4-6 seater. You missed the part where brains were
handed out at birth.
