BA 747-400 takes on a building – Accident at Johannesburg Airport

22/12/2013 by Kevincm

An incident occurred this evening when a British Airways Boeing 747 operating a flight from O. R. Tambo (Johannesburg)  International Airport to London.

From the looks of it – the plane was sent down a wrong taxiway.

From the age olde question – which would win – a 747 or a building, I think we can safely say which won this round:

The flight was operated by G-BNLL, a British Airways Boeing 747-400. No injuries have been reported, with all passengers and crew disembarked safely.

British Airways have confirmed the occurance of the incident on Twitter:

It does show how much strength is in that plane though…

    Guess that was a pretty empty airplane, doesn’t that leave 100 empty seats?
