our company's major machine tool supplier is from turin, but don't think they're juventus supporters. the recent event gave them as much pause as us. because in 1949... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torino_Calcio

the first link doesnt work, but I asume its about the emergency landing? What I dont understand is why they need to take a plane to Auxerre, isn't it only like 300 kilometres away?
