The Hindus were the correct answer.

"Nepal Airlines has apparently fixed an electrical fault on one of its Boeing 757s by sacrificing two goats in appeasement of Hindu sky god Akash Bhairab, Reuters reports.
The airline boasts two Boeings, and one was reportedly giving it a certain amount of grief leading to suspension of services over the past few weeks. However, the quick dispatch to the hereafter of two caprine sacrifies in front of the "troublesome" machine at Kathmandu on Sunday quickly resolved the matter.
Senior airline official, Raju K.C, declined to elaborate on the exact nature of the problem, but confirmed: "The snag in the plane has now been fixed and the aircraft has resumed its flights." ®
Well that's it. It was the Hindus.

Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen

The real test of faith is to now fly on that plane, if that is indeed all they did to fix the problem.

Depends on whether they ate the goats or not.

Cause that would cross the line, and it would be weird?
No, because burning goats without eating some seems more wasteful than dumping oil. I prefer lamb myself but I'm not too picky.
