Brazilians can expect lumps of coal this Christmas
December 19th, 2007Drug traffickers in Rio de Janeiro have opened fire on a helicopter carrying an actor dressed as Santa Claus to a children’s party in a shanty town.
They apparently believed it was a police helicopter being used in a raid and fired at least two bullets into the fuselage.
The pilot was flying over the Vila Joao shanty town in Brazil’s second city when he realised he was under attack and was forced to land.
The undeterred Santa continued his journey by car to keep his promise to deliver his presents.
Note to Toronto traffic reporters - you may want to avoid flying over certain North York neighborhoods…
