Tail rotor fears ground Sea Kings - National - theage.com.au The crash of the 31-year-old Sea King operating from HMAS Kanimbla during earthquake relief operations last month led to the rest of the navy's fleet being grounded, except in emergencies.

The Sea Kings were supposed to have been retired by 2000, but the air force prolonged their life by spending $80 million to keep them flying until 2005.

That Which Has Fallen While looking up the Merovingian kings Dagobert I and II in an encyclopedia one day, we had noticed that their entries were placed right next to that of “Dagon”, a sea god worshipped in the ancient world, and mentioned in the Bible as the patron deity of the Philistines. But Leviathan was only associated with the sea in some versions of the myth, while in others his place was in “the outer darkness.” Such seeming contradictions dissolve when you realize that for the ancients, the sea and the heavens were often conceptualized as one and the same. All of which leads one to wonder why a king considered one of the ancient world’s the most illustrious leaders would have served as the prototype of the Old Testament’s primordial rebel, or why his story was preserved in the villainous biblical figure of Nimrod. www.thevesselofgod.com /thatwhichhasfallen.html   (9480 words)
