U2 or UFO? Or one of their own ultra-secret stealth jets? Unlikely to be a Reaper or Predator if not WWIII liao... From CNA: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/afp...1164051/1/.html Unidentified plane crashes in eastern China Posted: 08 November 2011 1317 hrs SHANGHAI: An unidentified plane has crashed to the ground and exploded in eastern China, state media reported Tuesday, but the accident remains shrouded in mystery and potential casualties remain unknown. The crash happened in Zhejiang province near Lishui city on Monday evening amid heavy fog, the state-run China National Radio said, but local residents told AFP police quickly sealed the site off to the public. The Beijing News quoted locals as saying they had seen something that looked like a plane crash on a hilltop and explode. One official at the scene said the plane was not a civilian aircraft, the report said. Caixin Century magazine, a well established news weekly, speculated the aircraft may be military, privately-owned or for agricultural use. The defence and agriculture ministries were not immediately available for comment. When asked about reports of the plane crash, a local government official, who refused to be named, told AFP that an investigation was "on-going" but refused to comment further. Residents living near the crash site said there was talk the plane carried one or two people, but those figures could not be confirmed. Police had sealed off the area, they added. "The site is blocked off so I am not sure what is going on," one resident, who only identified herself with her surname Hu, told AFP by phone. The Hong Kong-based Information Center for Human Rights and Democracy, whose founder has extensive contacts in China, said soldiers had been seen blocking and clearing the scene. If the aircraft is confirmed as a military plane, this would be the second such incident in just under a month, after a fighter jet plunged to the ground and exploded at an air show in October, killing one of the pilots on board. - AFP/fa

Today, I took my Honda Airwave for a car wash. I noticed that one of the tyre is quite flat as compared to the rest. Took a closer look and realise that it has been punctured with bubbles coming out when water is spray on it. I went to took a plier and manually pull the "nail" out and it was like pulling a sword out of your heart with air gushing out like crazy! I had to put a cloth to cover the gaping hole and took out my FIX A FLAT aerosol can and pump the sealant into my car tyre. After I had finished pumping all the sealant in, I quickly drove my car for a few Km as instructed and went on to the petrol station to pump in more air. After the air was pumped in, the tyre went back to its normal size and I can continue to drive my car as though nothing has happens! Just an experience that I will like to share with you guys. My previous car, picanto has encountered similar incident but with a staple and was fixed by FIX A FLAT also and went on for a year without any problem before I sold the car away.
