Talking China Airlines nose collapse
Read this on justplanes.com, had to laugh !

A Boeing 747-400 Freighter (China Airlines) fell on its nose after a front gear collapse at Taipei Airport on 07Feb.. .When the airline used an airbag to raise the nose the aircraft fell on its tail.. .The tail stand punctured the horizontal stabilizer and ruptured a fuel tank'.. . <img src="eek.gif" border="0"> <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
