Keel M. Posted May 13, 2013 #1151 Share Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) Tuninter Flight 1153 was a Tuninter Airlines flight from Bari International Airport in Bari, Italy, to Djerba-Zarzis Airport in Djerba,Tunisia. On 6 August 2005, the Tuninter ATR-72 ditched into the Mediterranean Sea about 18 miles (29 km) from the city of Palermo. 16 of the 39 people on board died. The accident resulted from engine fuel exhaustion due to the installation of fuel quantity indicators designed for the ATR 42, in the larger ATR 72.

Keel M. Posted May 14, 2013 #1156 Share Posted May 14, 2013 AD 1159... in the Roman Catholic Church, cardinals are given the right to elect the Pope. Prior to this, the pope was elected by the clergy and congregation of the church. So I guess this is when the pomp and ceremony began that they love so much.
