US Refueling Aircraft Crashes in Iraq — Liepāja Tram Once Again Proves Being the Only One Isn't Easy
An American KC-135 has experienced an accident in western Iraq, which only raises questions in Liepāja — how can an aircraft that flies in the air crash, when our tram has been running on tracks for 70 years without problems.
US Central Command has announced with a clear conscience that one of their refueling aircraft has crashed in western Iraq. Of course, they immediately clarified that it wasn't due to enemy fire, which is about as convincing as 'Rīgas satiksme' explaining why the bus is late again.
The KC-135 is an aircraft that has served for more than 60 years, which in the context of Liepāja's tram is practically new transport. Our only tram in Latvia has been running since 1953 and has never crashed, because it's smarter — it runs on the ground, where gravity helps instead of resisting.
Local resident Valdis Bērziņš commented: 'Well, Americans can send aircraft to space, but can't keep them in the air. Our tram has been running for 70 years and only sometimes stops during winter when the tracks freeze. But that's normal — we live in Latvia, not some desert.'
This is already the fourth US aircraft lost since February, which means they have worse statistics than Liepāja's public transport. Even our buses, which sometimes disappear on routes like in the Bermuda Triangle, eventually show up at the final stop. Americans could learn from Liepāja's experience — if something works for 70 years, don't change it.
