Sir Paul McCartney and wife Nancy Shevell, who attended Yom Kippur services prior to their wedding in deference to Shevell’s Jewish faith, might well be bentsching gommel (a thanksgiving prayer for escaping a dangerous situation) on their next visit to the synagogue after the couple narrowly escaped a crash when two helicopter pilots missed danger signals, as reported by the Daily Mail.

The terrifying ordeal occurred when the two were flying back from London, where they attended a celebration of the release of a vegetarian cookbook by McCartney’s daughter Mary, to their home in East Sussex. The pilots were attempting to land in inclement weather and at night, which would have been difficult enough, but the pilots missed danger signals, and one was so certain a crash was inevitable that he lost his ability to speak.

Were the words he was unable to speak 'Allah Akbar'?

Why would Muslims let their helicopter be used for a Jewish event?

What an awfully inept news report. When did this happen? When they were flying back yesterday?....a week ago?....a month ago?

You better believe the British will go over this story frame by frame, looking for all and any implications. Paul is but a musician, but remains a national treasure. Aerial accidents do happen. I think Buddy Holly was killed in a plan crash.

October, I believe. Don’t know why we’re only hearing about it now.

It must be a wind powered helicopter.

Patsy Cline, Richie Valens (with Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper).

They make no allowance for weather as my mom-in-law said, and she was right. The show must go on.

“Why would Muslims let their helicopter be used for a Jewish event?”

They didn’t:

“The terrifying ordeal occurred when the two were flying back from London, where they attended a celebration of the release of a vegetarian cookbook by McCartney’s daughter Mary, to their home in East Sussex.”

Sir Paul??? What a freaking joke! It’s like the US electing a kenyan. The title used to mean something.

Hmmmm, they wouldn't. They froth at the mouth with the mere mention of the name, "Israel".

Thanks for your reply. Wind powered, indeed. As in break wind ?

Their was a film a few years ago, “Last Play at Shea”. Billy Joel performed the last concert held there. “Sir” Paul joins in for the finale, not “sir” prizing, arriving on a private jet, from London, with a motorcade from JFK to Shea.

Footprint this, Paulie.
