Plane misses runway in east Congo, landing in lava

Personally, I’m too disappointed that people weren’t actually burned alive in boiling rock so I feel especially put out at the blatant manipulation.

My first thought was: “THE FLOOR IS LAVA!! No, seriously.”

:cool:

They seem to have a lot of trouble with lava at airports in Congo. Check out this one in Goma that got partially engulfed a few years back, trapping planes.

You sure you didn’t mean disigneous?
:cool:

That was beautiful! :smiley:

I think Ms Citera needs to be educated in the difference between lava and igneous rock.

/Bond villain

Igneous: lava or leave it.

If I were a pilot, I’d be more worried about the multiple footpaths crossing that runway than the cooled lava.

I thought our mission here at The Dope was to fight igneous!

Okay, that pun was truly ignominious.

A Hell in which there is a great wailing and gneissing of teeth…

Would that Hell be metaphoric or metamorphic?
(somebody had to pick up the mantle…)

A disaster headline followed by a long list of bad puns? On this message board, we can take that for granite.

'A’ā could explain those 20 injuries.

These rock puns are the schist.

My sediments exactly!
