Welcome to Hong Kong International Airport, Please keep your seatbelt on until we come to a complete stop!

I've heard of stories where 2 planes collided...one was landing, and lost control on the runway, and went across and took out the other plane that was attempting to take off...not a pretty sight.  those pictures are scary.

but the video is hilarious :lol:

Anyone know if the USAF has comprehensive coverage or just liablity on F15s?
Check this one out!

Stephan i think that one of the planes was a pan am...not sure on the other one though...comunication error. i work out at the airport and let me tell you that there is rarely a dull moment out there. there was a canadian (at the time) rampie and she got the nickname tumble weed...she walked behind a 767...twice. talk about airborne! also there was a hudsen general (when they were in buisness) guy coming up from cargo (where the air canada south hanger is) and he was pulling 4 empty tub carts. AC was pushing back a airbus 340 i think...well his empty tub carts started to pass him. i think the idea there was to roll when he hit the ground. ya gotta have yer head on a swivel out there let me tell you!!!!
