Re: 380 wing hits the deck.

Sorry cannot give You a link to the story but I read it in the local Chester newspaper yesterday it was undramatic and factual(I know the story as work at Chester) what happened is that when the wing(it was for the A380)was being lifted from the jig a shackle broke which caused the wing to drop the Airbus manager responsible for the wing reports in the article that the damage is estimated in the £100K+ range and not in millions as stated in the rather badly written article from Mr Glass,Airbus also said it will not impinge on any delivery as another will be allocated for the damaged one.
