'The Next' German Air Force Global 5000 Incident

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 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 ...
