Hey guys
I was actually on the bmi Baby flight to Belfast. We were just sitting waiting to depart, when the Excel airways flight just came along and shunted us forward. Was huge shock, didnt know what was going on at first.
Pilot came on told us there was no need to be alarmed and that he was shutting the engines down. 20mins later we were told to get off the plane few at at a time. This was because the plane has pushed forward quite a bit, the front wheel was damaged and therefore it had a risk of collapsing. We got off the plane into field and the coaches met us. it was a while before the excel passengers were picked up.
the irish blokes on the flight said that the back of the plane was lifted up for a bit, dunno as i was at the front.
was all a bit mental.. but the bmi staff were very helpful
an experience not to be forgotten in a hurry!!!
