You are all wrong, it was planted there by EADS in the hope it will soon grow into an A380...:}

Cuts it one end, scoches it the other - perfect combination! Fire the regular grass cutter and nothing will grow back for months - GENIUS!

Just been told that this is the 4th time in 11 months that someone has gone off the side on a taxiway in CDG?
Seems a lot if its true! Surely if its that much there could possibly be a drainage problem causing this sort of thing?

Some of the taxiways have a 3% grade. That could be it. I remember some Jeppesen charts have warnings to mind the grade as rolling back into the runway is a hazard when exiting. Or the pilot may have well just exited the runway too fast for the conditions.
Insh Allah

You're lucky it was mowing the grass and not chopping tree's down remember... :D
