Taxiing Plane Knocks Tail Off Turkish Airlines Airbus
Have you ever wondered how taxiing planes maneuver around the runway? We do too, but after seeing this footage that has been looped almost to perfection, we don’t think we will ever ponder of that thought again.
On Sunday, May 13 2018, passengers waiting to depart from Ataturk Airport in Istanbul, Turkey on a Turkish Airlines Airbus were given a not-so-bon-voyage when another plane, taxiing for takeoff, hit their sliced the Turkish Airlines’ tail clean off!
One of the passengers aboard Turkish Airlines A321, Kaarina Barron, said that all their heard was a noise as loud as a bomb and the plane sort of tilting to the side. It made her fear her own life.
The 55-year-old from Woodley, Berkshire, England was near the rear of the plane with her friend Clare Chambers when they heard the bang. “We’d just pulled into the parking bay. We hadn’t even been stationary for a minute and the engines were still going when there was this huge noise. It sounded like a bomb going off and the whole plane seemed to tilt over.”
The crash occurred when the Asiana A330 collided with the Turkish Airlines A321 on Sunday afternoon and sliced the plane’s tail clean off. Due to the hit, the Turkish airplane suffered extensive damage to its vertical stabilizer.
A spokesperson for Turkish Airlines confirms that their airplane has suffered such damages, but no passengers or crew members were injured in the incident.
