Thanks for the link.

The same thought would maybe cross my mind but I would laugh at my stupidity.

years ago I was wandering round a local park  with my dog.  It was about two in the morning.  I heard a noise and thought it was a plane from the nearby flying school about to crash.  It turned out to be a Swan trying to take off from the pond.  Even my dog laughed at me.

Oh dear

[1ozzy]

I'm impressed your dog has a sense of humour Wolf😅

and in 1939 - there was a fear discussed at council that the glintinng of the metal gun would attract German bombers to bomb Beaminster, so the Air Raid Warden recommended that it be taken down

( later sold as scrap)

There was an ad, of a swan taking flight with the voice over of a departing aircraft ( deploy airlons, full power....)

which I really liked but everyone else thought was stupid

[piggynose]

Eh by gum!

. . . . . but what if she'd been right. 

False alarms were not uncommon in the 70s during the height of the IRA outrages.

But of course it's easier to mock.

How can anyone view that site? Looks like 'work in progress'.

[ToraToraTora]

It's a long way from Gaza by paraglider!

[douglas9401]

Not impossible from some of the 'stans though.

[Zacs-Master]

Do you thing it possible that the woman posted it as a joke and then the meeja have, in their oft repeated way, twisted it?

if this is the case, then the eejits are those who believe the story to be genuine. 

[ToraToraTora]

Meeja twisting stuff? Noooo!

[Zacs-Master]

Soz. Never happens. 😬

[Redhelen72]

They do quote her X (formally Twitter) post

[Old_Geezer]

She had probably seen the thread here suggesting England & France were now dead; thought it was the advance column.

[royfromaus]

Where's the link or screenshot?

[royfromaus]

Aye, everybody wants to talk about an apparently b ull c rap story with no evidence it actually happend but nobody wants to talk about scumbags revelling in the death of some Jews.

 

Shows just how stupid some can be.
