High Drama! - passengers escape death by the narrowest of margins

Only the Daily Star could manage this

"Norwegian Air plane carrying up to 300 passengers crashes into fence at Gatwick Airport

A NORWEGIAN Air Dreamliner with up to 300 passengers on board crashed into a fence at Gatwick Airport today."

Turns out is was backed too far by the tug off stand............

I hope there wasn't a hospital or school the other side of the fence.

ETA: Aren't they going to start running out of serviceable aircraft at this rate?

Saw one lined up for departure at LGW this afternoon. I was relieved that we were in front of it.
