How could that NOT tug at the heart strings. That is really sad, but Im glad some of them got to break out and actually see some stuff outside of their normal routines, etc.

Just for laughs:

SWISS Airlines apparently thinks that close counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, AND network maps.



Some are a slight north/south/west/east shift (still amusing, though, for a company that specializes in getting to different parts of the world), while others are hilarious.


From Aer Lingus. Whoops.

Wow, I didn't even notice Sacramento at first, I just figured they didn't include in on the map. That's a good 500-600 miles away from its actual location. I can't believe I've been wasting gas driving to San Francisco all these years, I should have just gone to Salt Lake City! It's about twice as close!

"Ladies and Gentleman, this is the captain speaking, we'll be making our landing at Sacramento in a few minutes. If you look to your left, you'll see the grand canyon, and to you're right, the Great Rocky Mountains. Have a nice day and thank you for flying Swiss Air."

Geez, Memphis is east of Nashville, Orlando is on the coast and if you look at the South American map they don't even label what I would assume is Santiago, Chile.

Wow. Little Rock appears to be in Kentucky, Columbus and Cleveland in Michigan, Washington DC is in Philadelphia and Philadelphia is in New York. Jacksonville, Georgia and Atlanta, NC! LOL Ottawa is in Quebec apparently.

And look, the provinces of Canada are divided into Quebec, Ontario, British Columbia and the single Province of Manitobalbertaskatchewan!

Oh, and Hudson Bay has dried up.
