Travel With the Bendy Airline

As if it wasn't bad enough that they named their airline AdamAir, and on top of that have a habit of losing their airplanes (and unfortunately sometimes their occupants), now Indonesia's el-cheapo AdamAir have hit the headlines after they bent one of their aircraft.

That's right, they bent a plane. It was landing in Surabaya about a week ago and, according to officials, "made a hard landing but did not crash." This landing was so hard that the Boeing 737-300 was bent in the middle, with its tail hanging closer to the ground than normal. Parts of the plane were also cracked, and heavy rain got lumbered with most of the blame. Fortunately, nobody was hurt, but we still don't want to be flying around in bendable aircraft.
