Lizard 0 #1 January 30, 2003 Northwest Airlines screwed up on Jan 19th. The accident happened just before 0700 at LGA Delta Terminal Gate 10. Two mechanics were moving the Airbus A319 from the over night spot to the Flight Center. According to the injured mechanics the brakes failed when they tried to stop the aircraft. A gate agent manning the jetway was also hurt when the Airbus took off half of the platform. The NLG collapsed when the aircraft hit a parked tug under the jetway. It's going to be fun trying to remove the aircraft from under the jetway without causing any more damage, and of course, the Port Authority is investigating the accident. The left wing sliced open a Boeing 757 just under and aft of the R1 door. A319.2 A319.3 B757 A319.1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diverdriver 7 #6 January 31, 2003 QuoteDOH! Hope nobody was seriously hurt! Oddly enough, we had one of our BAE-146s run into the terminal at O'Hare because of a hydraulic brake failure. Aparently the system lost all pressure as it was coming into the gate and was unable to stop or steer out of the way (do a 180). THAT'S WHY WE TELL YOU TO NOT UNDO YOUR SEATBELT UNTIL THE LITTLE LIGHT HAS BEEN TURNED OFF!
