Jet careens off tarmac at Melbourne
March 7 2003
A United Airlines passenger jet taxiing to the terminal after landing at Melbourne Airport careened off the tarmac shortly after 11am today. No passengers were hurt in the incident.
The aircraft, flight 815, experienced mechanical problems with its steering which caused it to veer off the taxi route, an airport spokeswoman said.
"All passengers on board were fine and in no danger," she said.
Passengers were asked to disembark from the flight which arrived from Sydney and were taken to the terminal.
Usual press sensationalism here, posted FYI only.
