KATHMANDU, Nepal, Sept. 5 (UPI) -- Officials at Nepal Airlines Corp., plagued by recurring technical problems, say they sacrificed two goats to appease the gods.
The sacrifice was made in front of an NAC aircraft at the airline's hangar at the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, with airline executives in attendance, ekantipur.com reported.
The airline's top management was consulted before the worship and goat blood were offered to the deity, an NAC official said.
The idea to offer a sacrifice came to an airline engineer who said he dreamed that a deity was angry because the corporation had not appeased him by sacrificing goats, the news agency said.
