INTERNATIONAL ENGINEERS CONFERENCE
Added on: 17th Jul 2013
There was a conference in France
where a number of international
engineers were taking part,
including French and American.
During a break, one of the French engineers
came back into the room saying,
'Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done?
He has sent an aircraft carrier to
Indonesia to help the tsunami victims.
What does he intend to do,
bomb them?'
A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly:
"Our carriers have three hospitals on board
that can treat several hundred people,
they are nuclear powered and can supply
emergency electrical power to shore facilities,
they have three cafeterias
with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day,
they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water
from sea water each day,
and they carry half a dozen helicopters
for use in transporting
victims and the injured to and from their flight deck.
We have eleven such ships...
how many does France have?"
