An airplane fell out of the sky into a holding tank of sewage. The plane is not identified, and they have no idea what is in it. Nobody heard it crash at the sewer treatment plant. Somebody saw a damaged railing. How do you not hear even a big ploop as it hits the shit. Normaly you hear of toilet water plunging from a plane. Here you have a plunging plane in toilet water. I bet they find the dead pilot with a big shit eating grin. [Article here.](http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/12/19/BAG8JN26UK1.DTL&feed=rss.bayarea) ---
