TERROR AS JETS CLIP WINGS AT TAKE OFF Nov 5 2004
Passengers in runway drama
By Paul Gallagher And Patrick Mulchrone
A PASSENGER jet smashed into another plane yesterday as it was taking off.
The packed Boeing 767 was accelerating to take-off speed when its wing hit the tail of a waiting BMI Baby Boeing 737.
No one was seriously hurt but the 737 was badly damaged in the incident at Manchester Airport.
Passenger Steve Harris - among 255 on the Excel Airways 767 bound for Goa, India - said last night: "People were screaming. It was terrifying for a while.
"It felt like we were going down a giant pothole. The plane was skidding from side to side and everybody lurched forward.
"It was as if someone had picked up the plane and was shaking it around."
The 767 and the smaller Belfast-found 737, with 79 on board, were kept on the runway for hours as fire crews ensured they were safe. Both aircraft were later evacuated.
The planes crashed at 4.27pm on the airport's Terminal Two runway.
Comedian Steve, 37, of Warrington, Cheshire, said: "We were already delayed by an hour-and-a-half, so people were getting impatient.
"We had been taxiing around for ages before we finally got on to the runway and began to accelerate to take-off speed.
"About half way down the runway we smashed into the other plane."
Steve, heading for a two-week break in Goa, said people calmed down once the plane came to a stop.
He said: "Nobody seemed to be injured and we were laughing and joking about it afterwards. But that's only because we all thought the worst when the planes collided."
Paul Murray, on board the 737, told how their aircraft was hit from behind as it waited for clearance to take off.
Paul, 37, of Belfast, added: "Our tail might have been overhanging the runway when it was struck by the other aircraft.
"There was an almighty jolt and people were frightened.
"We were kept on board for about 15 minutes before being taken off. A bus took us into the terminal.
"People have been checked for injuries but there doesn't seem to be anything worse than sore necks."
The BMI passengers were put on a later flight to Belfast while the Excel passengers stayed overnight in hotels.
An airport spokeswoman said: "The tail of the BMI Baby 737 and the wing of the Excel Airways 767 came into contact while both were on the ground. All passengers were safely evacuated. No one had to use emergency chutes."
In August 1985, 55 passengers died when a British Airtours Boeing 737 with 137 aboard burst into flames during a failed takeoff from Manchester.
