Danger

Bit like the Singapore Jumbo in New Zealand the other week when the highly paid driver put the wrong weight into the FMC didn't double check it with the performance manual got the wrong Vref figures and scraped the arse, left the APU on the runway and caused the engineers a whole lot of grief.

The Helios crew must have pulled back bloody hard to dent the runway, the 800 is fitted with a large rubber lump designed to wear away and also the crushable strut. And if it was that bad, it wouldn't have been able to fly in such a relativly short time.

Any pictures about ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
