Pilot who paused to pray in crash-landing sentenced to 10 years in jail
   
The 2005 crash at sea off Sicily left survivors swimming for their lives, some clinging to a piece of the fuselage that remained floating after the ATR turbo-prop aircraft splintered upon impact.

A fuel-gauge malfunction was partly to blame but prosecutors said the pilot had succumbed to panic, praying out loud instead of following emergency procedures and then opting to crash-land the plane instead trying to reach a nearby airport.

Another five employees of Tuninter, a subsidiary of Tunisair, were sentenced to between eight and nine years in jail by the court, in a verdict handed down on Monday.

The seven accused, who were not in court, will not spend time in jail until the appeals process has been exhausted.

Why, that they're Christian fundies, of course (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=5321523&mesg_id=5321523)


But the rational, thinking world is aware that 99% of Tunisians are MUSLIMS. Still, let's count the references on the thread to Allah.

Ummmmmmm, none.

References to "God" and"Jesus?" Several.

Sort of reminds me of the DUmmies who wipe their butts with the Bible, but still refer to the Koran as the HOLY Koran.

Yeah, it took nine posts in before someone pointed out that this was Tunisia.  Our public education on display.
