| Close shave for Russian, Indian top brass |
| 2005-10-16 |
| A gust of wind and slight error of judgment could have wiped out the top brass of India’s armed forces as well as Russia’s defence minister on Sunday. Russian defence minister Ivanov Borisovish, Russia’s ambassador Trubnikov Ivonovich, Army chief Gen J J Singh, Air Chief Marshal S P Tyagi and half a dozen other generals had a miraculous escape during an Indo-Russian joint exercise at the Mahajan firing range, 137 km from here, when a military jeep — paradropped from an IAF aircraft — landed near the officials watching the proceedings. |

| #2 Nawww, its Dubya's fault - ala KATRINA, Dubya and Rummy ordered USDOD's "Fascist" weather machines to deliber blow the jeep towards the Generals. Now INDIA will have no choice but to distrust the USA and work wid the Russians and Chicoms to save the world from America. |

| #1 I think somebody's flying career is over... The Air Chief was measured in his response. "I would not like to comment at this moment, but I have asked the pilot for a debrief," ACM Tyagi said. Sources in Delhi said a court of inquiry would be ordered into the incident. |
