Was doing engine runups on Alpha about an hour ago, from what I briefly got over the radio they were checking for leaking fuel?

Which is a bit of a yawn, but good for the Channel 9 news this morning as they reported it as an emergency!

Depending on how many layers are cracked, it could be an emergency!
(Just ask the captain of BA5390, who got sucked out the window!!).

It's good to see the 'Virgin Angels' at work
