Moonies founder 'hurt in crash'

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7515435.stm

The founder of the controversial Unification Church, better known as the Moonies, has been hurt in a helicopter crash in South Korea, reports say.

Rev Sun Myung Moon, 88, was among several people on the aircraft when it made an emergency landing at Gapyeong, 40km (25 miles) east of Seoul.

News agencies quoted officials as saying Rev Moon's injuries were slight.

The casualties were taken to Cheongshim Hospital, which is owned by the Church, Yonhap news agency reported.

A police spokesman said that the helicopter had been carrying Rev Moon, his wife Han Hak-Ja, 11 relatives and three crew members when it ran into difficulties in heavy rain and came down on a hillside at Gapyeong, AFP news agency reported.

6. Ok, I'll ask again... why didn't he just move the mountain?

being the messiah and all, one would think moving mountains would be a piece of cake?

7. "made the landing after encountering bad weather"

That's bullshit.

The S-92 works fine in crappy weather...these are used to ferry workers back and forth to offshore oil rigs, and those guys get some of the worst weather imaginable.

8. Republicon Homelanders mourn the injury to their Top Moneybagger

While loyal Americans puzzle over how so many republicon 'leaders' can be in thrall to the Rev. Moon and his claims to be the Second Coming of Christ.
