Airline Staff Sacrifice Camel. Awaken Demon. Armageddon Ensues.
Wednesday, December 13th, 2006
You’d think that delivery of the 100th aircraft might be met with champagne and caviar, but not for staff working at Turkish Airlines, oh no. They’d much prefer to sacrifice a camel at Istanbul international airport to bring about the end of the world (ok, maybe not the end of the world bit).
Usually sheep are “put down” during the Festival of Sacrifice, marking the prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son when God ordered him to - but not this time. They went a little buck wild we think.
“They didn’t ask permission,” said a spokeswoman for the airline, “They went too far. We are really quite shocked.”
On the bright side, 700kg of cammy the camel was distributed among the workers … which was nice.
