Time to stop flying?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7334372.stm
Mobile phone calls will be allowed on planes flying in European airspace under new European Commission rules. The decision means that mobiles could be used once a plane has reached an altitude of 3,000m or more. Gerry |

Apparently my plane was recently in danger of crashing as it taxied across the apron at Schiphol. Well, they announced we shouldn't turn our phones on yet because of the interference they might cause... -- Roland Perry |

That's a risk when the other passengers riot trying to throttle the morons using them on planes. |

Gerry, so you really believe that planes crash when we turn on our mobiles? I think the only way you can kill someone with a mobile is by throwing it at someone..haha Samanta http://www.mydedications.com |
