black hawk down....at foxwoods
So a funny thing happened at work. We were offered overtime to come in this past saturday, but i refused because i was delivering firewood. Apparently, i picked the right day to deliver firewood because the state police, the fire marshalls, mashentucket police, EMTs, etc were all on the job because of a report that "a plane had gone down in the woods next to our building." They had a boom truck going through the trees and they finally found the plane. it was a big styrofoam glider with a 8' wingspan that was thrown off the roof of our 30 floor building (if you've ever been to foxwoods, you'd know that it's a bunch of huge buildings right in the middle of nowhere).
the police were pissed, they stopped the whole job, pulled hundreds of people out of work to interrogate them and everything. the cops made a big witch hunt out of trying to find the terrorist who threw the glider off the roof. so when i got in today, they were still trying to sort this mess out. i think they found the culprit because they had warned they guy about it before because they'd been throwing planes off the roof since winter time. or at least that's the rumor going around -don't quote me, i don't want this being used as legal evidence. this is completely here-say (sp?).
supposedly it all started when a few guys were on the 25th floor and they made paper airplanes and tossed them off the building. one guy made a comment like "i get the record for going the farthest." Another guy who had built an inferior airplane took this comment to heart, and in the american spirit of pulling yourself up by your bootstraps, went home and researched paper airplanes on the internet.
the next few days he came in with new designs for new airplanes that went far and wide. they traveled for long distances over the highway and over the woods until they disappeared into the hills somewhere. each time going farther and farther. soon, he upgraded into styrofoam models and made bigger and bigger styrofoam planes until they got to be 8' in wingspan.
he threw them down and they spiralled downward and crashed in the trees a few different times. one day the crane operators were playing with one they rescued from the trees, so they took it back from them. and then saturday, some idiot on a jackhammer called 911 and reported that a plane went down in the woods.
it only takes one panicky pete to ruin everything.
