Brazilian Police Ram Plane | |
I've seen police ram stolen cars to put an end to a chase, never seen them do it with a plane though...
Clicky.
The text is in Portuguese, but there's a nice 30 second video.
I'm not too clued up on my Portuguese but seems like the plane was full of laptops and other electronic gubbins smuggled in from Paraguay.

Nice one.
You should have seen what I did to the local gypo's van (by accident ). I caught him trying to nick the winch of Lara, he took off in his Escort van, I followed so I could get his reg number. When I caught him up he slammed the brakes on, I could not stop and ended up rear ending him. The thing is he drove off when I got out the car to give him my insurance details. He now has a winch shape in his back doors Lara has a bit of his paint on the fairlead. I reported this to the police but nothing has come of it yet. 130's have feeling's as well you know

Quote: Brazil, federal police of Ribeirão Preto (314 km from Sao Paulo) threw a car of the corporation against the plane that was used by the group. With the move, the agents of PF - who filmed the moment of approach - managed to prevent the airplane takes off.
The operation ended with the arrest of five suspects - including the pilot of the plane - and seizure of a cargo estimated at $ 200 thousand in notebooks, electronic surveillance equipment and a bicycle.
The products, which were placed in a van, probably came from Paraguay and would be marketed in the region of Ribeirao Preto, according to PF.

Damn, Google Translate is good these days!
Only joking Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing...

That should make it pretty easy for the police to identify whoever it was!

I'll be looking out for him and see if I can use him to stop me in the front, then he can have a winch bumper scar front and back
