Jet wing strikes building at Johannesburg airport
A jetliner's wing sliced through a building Sunday night at the airport in Johannesburg, South Africa, just as the plane was about to take off. (worldnews.nbcnews.com) Plus d'info...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
The "Queen" was at the wheel and it was on "Auto Drive".
Queen yes, I enjoyed Freddie Mercury (Farrokh Bulsara) performing with a four-octave range.
While the charts are marked, it seems to me in one of the initial reports that ATC directed them in there. Now, that is not an excuse as you need to look at where you are going, but if he was late out of the gate and preoccupied, it may have been a reason.
Do I read correctly that ATC guided them to the concerned taxiway ?
If so, on what basis the PIC should be on the lookout for specific signage to tell him/her otherwise ?
Do we not go over the crossing if the light is green on roads ? Or do we stop and look out assuming the green light to be wrong ?
Or the diversion sign on the road ?

Well, as in driving through that green signal, you as an attorney should know this, BUT, in the U.S., you are required to make sure the intersection is clear, or if there is an accident, you could be sued, depending on the circumstances. Being right is one thing, but being DEAD right is another matter. Most folks don't clear an intersection but it is a good idea to use peripheral vision before going into it. That said, he possibly was cleared but especially being in one of the world's largest planes he had an obligation to look at the chart and advise ATC "unable" if that was the case. As I said above, if he left late and was preoccupied, he just may not have looked. For whatever reason, 4 people were injured, and the building/plane were tore up.
ThanX.
In short, you mean to remind that one has to be extra cautions in the profession of flying !

Wouldn't hurt on the highway either, sir.
Couldn't agree more !
In fact every where, incl. your home.

They put cupholders on riding mowers, principally to hold cold beers. You'd be hard pressed to pry those beers out of the hands of homeowning mowers. (But make sure the kids are playing anywhere near the lawn.)
I guess lawn mower works better with beer or wine. And hence the cup holders for convenience.
