Drone Pilot Ejects From Office Chair

[Jimbuna]

This made me laugh

When an electrical fire disabled Colonel Doyle VanWatermulen’s Predator drone, the 65-year old veteran pilot exclaimed “Mayday! Mayday! We’re going down! We’re going down!” while sitting at his cubicle, sources close to his office confirmed.
Witnesses stated VanWatermulen began violently pulling and pushing the various ergonomic levers under his seat in an apparent attempt to “eject” himself. Unable to trigger an ejection, the pilot called out ”Jammed! I’m outta here!” and rolled from his chair.

VanWatermulen? Give me a break.

“We should have suspected a problem when he [VanWatermulen] showed up for the mission in a lambskin leather bomber jacket and helmet.”

Sounds like a spoof article to me.

No way, a source who reports stuff like "Frenchman Comes Out Of The Closet, Admits To Family That He Likes Helping Tourists And Speaking In English" or "Movie Critics Slam New Taliban Terrorist Video" can be trusted 100%.
