JQ collision with safety car
 

Word is a Jetstar 320 has collided with a safety car at SYD. Any more details known?

I can see the issue - the wing lights weren't switched on

Comment of the year!

Far more complex than Nav lights!

Was the vehicle driver wearing his ASIC card in an approved manner?

That doesn't look safe to me

That'll buff out.

See, shoulda left the taxi light on ;-)

One less ATC delay. Winning!

I hope he waved his ear plugs and hi vis vest prior to apron entry!!!

should have gone to SpecSavers

Wing Prop Crash

If it was a Toyota the Airbus would’ve come off 2nd best!

There's an obvious mistake in the caption for that photograph. The ute is actually rammed under the engine propeller.

How embarrassment!:O

(With apologies to Effie.)

Top bit of journalism from 7!:rolleyes:

Will the Jetstar Cessna be a write-off?

Are the propellers on a Jetstar plain carbon fibre or sustainable timber?

Was the safety car on a treadmill?

It does look like the towbar is attached and somebody is on headset at the end of that cord. Or maybe they put it on after the Airbus dodged the school and found a clear vehicle to land on.

All jokes aside, the ute driver was taken to/maybe admitted to hospital and the ute is a write off.

With a tow bar and tug attached it appears to have already been under tow, which gives it the right of way.

I'm confused. In what circumstances wouldn't it have right of way??

One newspaper I read said the Ute driver was uninjured which allowed me to laugh at all the comments :)
The Ute being a write off will surely be insignificant compared to the cost of the engine lip and the associated pipes? Anyone with Engineering experience have an idea of what will be involved in repairing it? Or what it costs to keep a machine out of the air for a week?
​​​​​​​Another question while I’m on a roll, how does insurance work in situations like this?
