So You Think You Can Speak ENGLISH

What can go wrong when someone who has ESL (English as a second language) writes the tag line for a Gaviscon Ad in the South African market.
I'm sure they meant EVERY WORD....
They're not as hung-up about sexual things most ANYWHERE outside the U.S.

If you cannot read it, the last line says,
It's Like a Fireman Came in Your Mouth,
What a Felling

This Story was squashed (covered) up by the British News Media

This is the NEW Air Bus 340-600

The Complete Story:
The brand spanking new Airbus 340-600, the largest passenger airplane ever built, sat-in its hangar in Toulouse , France without a single hour of airtime. Enter an Arab flight crew of Abu Dhabi Aircraft Technologies (ADAT) to conduct pre-delivery tests on the ground, such as engine run-ups, prior to delivery to Etihad Airways in Abu Dhabi ...
The ADAT crew taxied the A340-600 to the run-up area. Then they took all 4 engines to takeoff power with a virtually empty aircraft.. Not having read run-up manuals, they had no clue just how light an empty A340-600 really is...
The takeoff warning horn was blaring away in the cockpit because they'd all 4 engines at full power. The
Aircraft computers thought they were trying to take- off but the aircraft had not been configured properly (flaps/slats, etc). Then one of the ADAT crew decided to pull the circuit breaker on the Ground Proximity Sensor to silence the alarm...
This fooled the aircraft into thinking it was in the air...
So the computers automatically released all the brakes & set the aircraft rocketing forward. The ADAT crew had no idea that this is a safety feature SO that pilots can't land with the bra kes-on.:!!
Not one member of the seven-man Arab crew thought to throttle back the engines from their max power setting, so the $200 million brand-new aircraft crashed into a blast barrier ~ totaling it.
The extent of injuries to the crew is unknown for there has been a news blackout in the major media in France & elsewhere. Coverage of the story was deemed insulting to Muslim Arabs. Finally, the photos are starting to leak-out !!!
