TRUFFLE TROUBLE

Stalker was amused and slightly aghast at the story about truffles  causing a plane to be unable to take off.

The truffle trouble happened on board an Air Dubai aircraft which was unable to proceed to take off as it was unbalanced.

The ensuing investigation discovered 3,400 kg of truffles loaded upfront in the cargo bay,  leading to a nose heavy imbalance.

The plane was en route from Iran to Dubai. Who knew that they had so many truffles in the middle eastern state.

It would appear the desert truffle is plentiful in the Persian gulf states.
