Dixie Chicks aircraft in scare

An aircraft carrying the American country rock band the Dixie Chicks has been involved in an accident at Glasgow Airport.
The wing of the twin-engined jet carrying them from a concert in Dublin struck an airport building while taxi-ing to its parking slot.

No-one was hurt in the incident and an investigation has been launched.

...

The Dixie Chicks were due to play a sell-out concert at Glasgow's Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre.

There were believed to have been 16 passengers and crew on board the aircraft.

I don't even want to contemplate the celebrations over at freeperville. I hope they're okay.

Oh, merciful heavens. I cannot believe this...

they are all mothers too I think.

Or on the ground at the time?

It's safe to assume the plane was landing (since they are scheduled to play..).. whether it was on the ground and taxiing to the gate or it was a crash landing will answer a lot of questions.

They should be OK

Talk about an emotional roller coaster. THank's folks. That was one hell of a ride.

This has just gone beyond crazy. My tinfoil hat is now a nickel-plated Stetson.

something. or a chock wasn't place properly and they simply rolled into a building. let us hope.

A minor mishap on the ground and they call it a "Jet Crash"???

Sky is a RUPERT MURDOCH outlet. The British version of FAUX News.

They were first with the story tho'.

got their hopes up for nothing.

(except for a couple of Wellstone digs)

When in reality they'd ALL LOVE to see the Dixie Chicks splattered across some corn field somewhere. I don't buy the care and concern bullshit for a nanosecond.

so glad they are ok.

sorry for yelling. just seems like even many DUers have stopped thinking or looking at the evidence and are going off lately.

pouring myself some tea. deep breathing exercises now.

but the post was edited. The original story people were responding to had much less detail.

Darth Velma

the new story has all the details.

I was in love with one of their anchors a while back. Penny Somebody-or-other.

I'm SO glad the Chicks are safe.

Leave woodwork immediately.

Begin rounding up usual suspects.

Then he had to "report" 15 minutes later that nobody was hurt. According to my wife, who heard it on the radio, Pigboy sounded quite disappointed.

May Limpnuts and his dittoheads burn forever in hell.

It seems strange, but plenty of aircraft accidents and incidents occur on the ground. Most are minor. It's the rough equivalent of automobile fender benders.

I was a student pilot aboard a four seat Cessna a few years ago, and I was sitting still with the brakes full on, waiting for another aircraft to pass. That aircraft (another Cessna) decided to run into me. The bottom edge of his left wing dug a groove into the top side of my left wing. Totally his fault, and fortunately it wasn't a huge repair bill.

Taxiing is surprisingly difficult, because an airplane is a rather awkward object to move on the ground. It's sometimes a problem to conceptualize the space it occupies. It certainly doesn't drive like a car on the ground.

I also got to see an airplane (yet another four seat Cessna) flip over, tail over nose, in high (~40 mph) winds. Everybody was OK, but the plane had a fair amount of damage.

No one really cares about bending metal in the end. Human life is the valuable part. I'd gladly give up the whole airplane if it meant walking away safe.
