2nd Incident
Friday, 11/07, at São Paulo Int’l airport / Guarulhos (SBGR, IATA: GRU). While going to the gate H00, around 09:45pm LT, an American Airlines B767-300 taxied beyond the taxiway edge and its left main gear sank on a very soft surface. Passengers had to disembark on the ramp walking to the bus. By the way, it was raining and the airplane stopped just few meters from a deep ditch.
