Flipping heck !

[emmie]

Pegasus Airlines said that the Boeing 737-800 aircraft, flying from Ankara to Trabzon, "had a runway excursion incident".

that is surely the understatement of the year, so far.

[aelmpvw]

wasn't that aviatrix asked to park it again was it?

[emmie]

now now, i thought the name of the airline Pegasus was rather inappropriate - as i thought that could fly..

[fender62]

pretty scarey for the passengers i bet

[emmie]

i can't see how there weren't any injuries, and how did they get the plane back up the bank..

[Mamyalynne]

Glad all were OK.

They used trucks to pull it back up.

[erik2]

emmie they haven't

[emmie]

erik
have they left the plane there then, hopefully all the passengers got out safely, i mean fancy being in that.

[Mamyalynne]

Oh, they didn't manage it then? Saw them start.

Sorry.

[erik2]

most likley be hosted by some giant crane speclaist so not do do any further damage, it will be back in the air with in a year (theres not much major damage even with an engine bieing ripped off)

[erik2]

hell i've got so typos there sorry

I love the Independent headline "Terrified passengers capture the moments after Pegasus Airlines jet skids off Turkish runway" Not so terrified that they couldn't find their mobile phone and start filming.

There's likely to be some fuselage damage .
Lets hope that it is repaired properly

I watch a lot of the 'Air crash investigations' programmes .

There was a crash which was due to a fuselage repair not been done correctly .
That faulty repair was something like 15 years prior to the crash

[Mamyalynne]

Yes, the trucks I saw were probably doing just that and stabilising it.

[emmie]

before it slipped into the sea, what a nightmare.

[New Judge]

Good job it wasn't a Ryanair aircraft. Mr O'Leary would have charged extra for a sea view -:)

[Mamyalynne]

You'd be suing?

I'd simply be glad I was alright.
