plane trouble

in a journey that was marred by many setbacks: delayed planes, stranded in airports, mechanical problems in planes... on my way to Sri Lanka...

In the second act of these incidents, in Doha, Qatar, our plane was delayed because of mechanical problems. We were put in the plane and then after waiting for about an hour were taken to another plane. While on the bus, I saw al these mechanics at work with our plane, so I snapped... a picture or two that is... and the security guards snapped back - you can not take any pictures of such things... because mechanical problems in planes is such an unusual thing, right? and to have detected one, is a shame on the airlines, right? To their credit, the west and the rest of the world, is not the most forgiving when these things happen in the middleeast...
