I lived in the Middle East, where air controllers would drop the
controls to face Mecca and prey as planes were flying all over the
place around the airport and about to land. I saw it in front of me,
with pilots screaming down the radio to them. Many pilots would abort
and fly to safety. Atoms for peace my arse!!! Putting this sort of
equipment in the hands of such people is madness. In 1st world
countries they can't even get it right, what chance in the third
world, where logic and values are very different.

Makes you wonder why the controllers aren't set up to face Mecca at
their
stations? At least they would be in the right orientation when they get
up
again. (I have seen similar but luckily only in computer operations
rooms
and similar - nothing that critical.)

The tower didn't face Mecca, they have to turn around. Even if it did
face
Mecca no one paying attention makes no difference. I have seen civilian
planes nearly hit hawk arrestors because of these dickheads.

I think the word you are searching for is towel heads. Or sand ******s.

They were referred to as Rag Heads.

Nce to see your racism index up there in the 90's along with the rest of
your prejudices.

I never came out a racist comment. I am the most unprejudiced person in the
world.

Are you SURE you didn't vote Tory?

No. racism is synomimous with Tory.
