Total Kenya Airways E190 Ground Disaster

Postby J » Mon Feb 11, 2019 9:20 pm

With photographs - damaged engine cowling, ripped fuselage, smashed air stairs, dislocated radome, etc. etc. etc.


Two Planes Collide At Nairobi Airport – No Injuries Reported
Excerpt:

"... on the evening of February 8th, there was a routine maintenance check being done for the engines on the E190s. Somehow, one of the planes didn’t have the proper brakes and collided with another E190."

"...the aircraft in motion ended up dislodging the radome of one E190 and stopped when the engine rammed into the fuselage."

I'm waiting to read 3WE's account in his "Flight Report" thread.

Since it involves SI units and soccer, I could not care less. I’m guessing the temperature was in the 20s.

As flyboy likes to remind us, I imagine there is paperwork involved.

So, a ripped fuselage... guess that means a six-pack ABS. Didn't think E190s had body gear that size though.

Maybe Gabie was involved, then? He seems to break aeroplanies almost as frequently as you.
