Pak airline staff sacrifice goat on runway for flight safety
Pakistan International Airlines staff sacrificed a black goat at the airport tarmac in Islamabad before an ATR-42 aircraft took off on Sunday, almost a week after ATR-42 aircraft were grounded following a crash that left 47 dead. An official said this was done "as a gesture of gratitude as the ATR aircraft resumed flight operations," but wasn't a management-level decision.
