BBC reporting;

A German airport worker accidentally crashed a van into Chancellor Angela Merkel's plane, forcing her to delay her return to Berlin.

The woman was driving at Dortmund Airport when she stopped to take a picture of Ms Merkel's aircraft.

But she had not put the handbrake on and the van rolled into the aircraft's nose, Der Spiegel (https://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/dortmund-transporter-rammt-flugzeug-von-angela-merkel-a-1267267.html) reports.

Truly bizarre that that BBC article references two incidents last year, but not the rather more serious one only a few weeks ago. (Which has a thread or two of its own on here)

Oh, wait, no-one "important" was near that one, so I guess it didn't count as news ...
