Police talking sex in helicopter heard throughout city
Quote:
The skies were blue indeed over parts of the city Monday night, thanks to an off-colour conversation overheard from the Winnipeg police helicopter's loudspeakers.
Some X-rated comments were heard by people on the ground in a number of neighbourhoods where Air1 was hovering overhead while on a routine patrol.
"Does the #Winnipeg chopper realize the entire West End can hear their convo about blow jobs right now? @winnipeg311 #speakerphone #whoops," tweeted @natncello.
That was followed by "the only other words we could discern were ... too much body hair," she tweeted.
At about 9:30 p.m. on Monday, the aircraft's public address system had inadvertently been activated, allowing the public to hear the crew's babble. The crew members were obviously unaware that they could be heard outside of the chopper.
Lynn B., who declined to give her last name, heard them use the "F-word."
"It was pretty clear and obviously a private conversation," said Lynn, who tweeted about the incident @likeflies. "I don't think I heard anything about a blow job. That would have been much cooler.
'Kinda funny'
"It's unfortunate but I can understand it. They shouldn't have been saying it and they shouldn't have been broadcasting it. But it is kinda funny."
Not that funny for the police, or the three members of the Air1 crew who could face disciplinary action.
