    Some of you might have watched 60 Minutes, but I didn't and just read this today.

    Without looking at it would that be the father daughter relationship?? If so after that story the police in adelaide are now watching them very closely i beleive. Was a write up about it on fox news this morning and am glad i choose not to watch the story as i think it would have made me sick.

    I was channel surfing and caught a little. WTF is wrong with these people, getting together in the first place is just plain wrong, but to go and have a child together ???

    Looking at the Scottish couple, if that gene pool was ever to breed,

    I believe that there may well be someone for everyone, why didn't these people just keep looking???

    All I can say that at least they were older and consensual. There is much much much worse than this going on were one party can't even understand the implications of what is being done to them!

    And aren't most royal families the most incestuous people on the planet?

    Actually, 60 minutes and 4 corners are about the only current affairs shows worth their salt any more. I'd put 4 corners well in front though. ACA was once ok, but has decended to the level of that crap on 7. It's all about sensationalism. Heck, I remember doing assignments on this stuff at uni. They were sensational too!

    They got a $500 fine and a conviction recorded. Because it was consensual

    Would this even be news if we just ignored it. 60 Minutes pays for a quick ratings boost and now every show linked with 9 is advertising it further. Bit like the idiots with the lasers and pointing them at aircraft, if the media shut up it would have not increased like it has done in the past few months.

    Bit of a sad tale this morning.

    http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599...24-421,00.html

    An elderly cleaning lady that i knew pretty well at Brisbane Airport fell to her death yesterday after a terrible accident. Even sadder was that a few of us had only said hi to her some 30 minutes before she died

    One of her co-workers told us she'd only come back from 4 months off work after having to care for her elderly mother who had taken a bad turn. He also told us she was going to retire today and look after her mother full-time

    Was a bit of talk about this at work tonight, have to say am amazed it has not happened more often. Sometimes the guys/girls are pretty blaze about getting on and off aircraft from the catering/cleaning trucks. Is quite a fall, remember being told during some of my training that the fall from a jumbo is the right height for your body to rotate and hit the ground head first.

    From what I have heard G69 she fell through the gap between the aircraft and a service truck. Fall is around 35 feet.

    She fell through a gap between the walkway and rails on the catering truck .... well, that's what we were lead to believe. Nobody saw it happen so they're only guessing that's what happened.

    Something very wrong about seeing a person you only just spoke with lying on the ground covered in a red blanket.

    Must have been tough Jarro. Last night we were all watching the catering people load and unload and some still were not sliding the rails in fully only hours after the above death. You would think they would have been extra careful.
