Doors Fall off Irish Minister for Tourism’s Helicopter – Mid Flight!

By Rob Scott • March 2, 2009

I had one too, but the doors fell off.

You couldn’t make it up!

I hate to say it, but I’m reminded of an Irish joke I once heard (are Irish jokes still Racist, or is it post-modern not to be PC? Who cares?) which goes “How do you sink an Irish Submarine? Knock on the door!”

That joke wasn’t very funny, and neither would it have been for the Irish Minister for Tourism, Martin Cullen, when, as he was leaving a conference, the door fell off the Air Corps AW 139 helicopter which was flying him away!

The helicopter made an emergency landing, and the Minister, along with the other three on board, was physically unhurt, if a little shaken.
