BBC NEWS | England | Manchester | Two planes in airport collision


Two aircraft have been involved in what has been described as a minor collision at Manchester Airport.

Emergency services rushed to the scene after the wing tip of a Futura Boeing 737 hit the tail of a Lufthansa Airbus A320 while taxiing from Terminal One. No-one on board the aircraft was hurt in the collision, which ripped about 4ft (1.2m) of one wing tip's fin.

Woman driver?

Spanish Pilot ;)

A true Spaniard would have still taken off! ;)

Funny, we were talking about planes crashing today at work, I was winding a girl up who is flying to Atlanta on Delta that they have got their old Tri-Stars out of storage in the desert due to the credit crunch and not being able to afford new planes.

Then I realised I am flying on Thursday.

i fly to philadelphia with delta in october, one of mates told me they only flying with three engines these days to save on fuel

Where you of j4cko

I hope you told her to check the type of plane: As we discussed before, Delta use some shockingly old planes on that route with no entertainment.

According to this: Delta Air Lines - Details and Fleet History - Planespotters.net they aren't running any DC10s anymore, but some of the 757s date back to 1985...aren't they the ones that have a habit of leaking exhaust fumes into the cabin? ;)

I can just imagine the scene...

"beep...........beep.... beep..beep.beeep.beeeeeepp. crunch".

They have beepers on planes right?
