From the web site "thinkSpain":

Defective airport finger lifts plane in air

By: thinkSPAIN

The passengers on board a Sterling flight from Scandanavia that landed at Málaga airport yesterday lunchtime got the fright of their lives when the passenger disembarkation walkway (finger) began to vibrate violently, lifting the front of the plane completely off the ground.

Fortunately, none of the passengers was injured though they were forced to leave from the rear of the plane using a mobile staircase.

The Isolux-Corsán company responsible for the cleaning, maintenance and operation of the service has launched an investigation to determine whether the problem was the result of human or mechanical error.
