when in a vehicle, moving in the vicinity of aircraft. the aircraft has the full right of way and the vehicle has NO right-of-way. My dad was the worst but nothing ever happened. It is sadly stupid to come in contact with a plane while in a vehicle. Being 83, I have seen and heard of several instances. Harold Brown

With the Engine running... just do to Torque Damage to the engine mounts is enough to total... the rest of it is just cream on the top to condemn it..

Totalled means it costs more relative to what the plane is worth. Has nothing to do w the type of damage. Same as a car.Anything can be fxed.

"After jumping out of the aircraft a lot of fuel was seen on the tarmac." I've never seen jumping fuel before.

I miss editors and proofreaders.

Agreed, except the website seems it may be European in origin. If that's the case, and the author was writing in a language other than his native, we probably ought to reverse course and congratulate him on his (almost) perfect English.

Is it just my imagination or are more of these type of accidents happening or are they just getting more news coverage? Is there more time pressure on ground personnel or are carriers hiring more NASCAR wannabees? Yes, I've seen some of these people whizzing around and it looks like a lot of fun...until someone gets hurt. LOL

we have the technology to end - called a grid with software that knows there is a conflict - just like in the air. Call Tesla

Amazingly stupid driving. However, the powers that be will make certain that this asshole will be forgiven.
What a wonderful world we live in.
