(COMTEX) B: Plane Hits Van at Heathrow
B: Plane Hits Van at Heathrow

LONDON, Oct 11, 1999 (AP Online via COMTEX) -- American Airlines said
Monday that it is investigating how one of its planes hit a van while
taxiing to a landing slot at London's Heathrow Airport.

No one was injured in the Sunday morning incident, which involved a
plane from Miami with 221 passengers on board.

The right engine of Flight AA56 hit the van as the McDonnell Douglas
MD11 aircraft maneuvered to the landing slot under a self-navigating
guidance system, airline spokeswoman Louise Phelps said.

The Ford Transit van was pushed about 6 feet and dented.

The self-navigation system is routinely used at Heathrow.

Some fun with MATH...
The Amazing Math Trick of 1999

Don't Cheat by scrolling down first! It only takes 30 seconds. Work this out as you read. Don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!

1. First of all, pick the number of days a week that you would like to eat out.

2. Multiply this number by 2.

3. Add 5.

4. Multiply it by 50.

5. If you have already had your birthday this year...add 1749.
If you have not had your birthday yet this year...add 1748.

6. Last step: Subtract the four digit year that you were born.

See below:

You should now have a three digit number, The first digit of this was your original number (i.e. how many times you want to go out to eat each week).

The second two digits are your age!!

This is the only year it will ever work, so spread the fun around while it lasts....
