More than 200 passengers will be delayed overnight after their aircraft became stuck while preparing to take off from Glasgow Airport.
The Emirates Airline flight to Dubai was heading towards the runway at about 1420 BST when it rolled on to grass as it turned a corner.

And don't get me started on foreign lorry drivers and their right side blindness.
They should also charge any delivery vehicles that (illegally) park close to the lights at the Trafalgar Square end of Northumberland Avenue, thereby blocking one lane and halving the already paltry number of vehicles that manage to get through during the five seconds in every minute the lights are green.
They should charge every council and utilily x hundred thousand pounds per hour for lanes closed for roadworks.
They should charge the police for the time they prolong the re-opening of lanes after an accident while they conduct their investigation.

If we remove lorries and red cars, there will be no more accidents

I wondered about this ... me sat in a traffic jam equals a material loss.. ergo whover was a fault for causing the crash their insurance company should be liable.
btw try the M20 in Kent for foreign lorry drivers... interesting interpretations of road rulesLast edited by Troll; 18 September 2007, 13:53.
