No, I think it was out of a 747.

But yes, I think it was. Imagine the surprise of finding that on your lawn. Still, better your lawn than your attic or upstairs bedroom, I suppose.

They're not still running 74s, surely? I flew into JK with Kenya a couple of years ago and it was a spanking new Dreamliner.

The only way to prepare for such a journey really would be to wear a space suit and carry 8 hours oxygen :heh:

Someone's already hosed it down, apparently...
