IAD Dulles Snow collapses hanger roof
In Virginia, a hangar roof collapsed at the Dulles Jet Center around 8 a.m. Saturday morning, according to Rob Yingling, Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority spokesman. Yingling says there were five people spending the night at the complex, but they weren't injured. He says they suspect significant damage to the hangar, and there were four private jets inside, but they have not done a full damage report yet. The airport authority says there isn't any fear of a collapse at the terminal. |
Hangers are for clothes, right?
|
Oi sniffer, no the floor is:ugh:
|
Got photos
Hi all,
A friend has e-mailed me photos of the hangar collapse.If anyone wants them drop me a line.:ok: Kev |
|
SIr, we put the plane in the hangar, it is going to snow tomorrow.
It will be cheaper as well we won't have to deice.... indeed... once in a million.... |
Ouch...!
Vr comes to my mind tho... :\ |
Somewhere there's a janitor saying "cool, now I can finally sweep under all the airplanes at the same time".
|
...but wait, there's more!
These photos are just Hanger A after initial collapse. Similar situations now in Hangers B and C, with D barely intact.
|
I really couldn't piece together from the previous posts, but was this pictures taken at IAD?
|
Yeah that should be IAD. We have another decent sized storm coming, I wonder if hangar D will hold up. Anyone know if N5UU got squished as well? It wears my favorite biz-jet paint scheme on it.
|
N5UU still at Farnborough this morning in its normal place on the east ramp. Don't think it has flown for a while.

Hate to think how you'd go about trying to extract the a/c from what's undoubtedly a structure which is at best "questionable" and may be downright unsafe without causing further damage - assuming that they aren't written off already, of course...

One of those Globals is brand new, less than 100 hours.

C-FRKQ Global XRS (N89MX) just registered in December. I live right near Downsview, and see the green Globals overhead most days. |
Wow, that aerial view really is something. Hangars B and C look to be even worse off than A.

There are more on here, but have linked some of the photos across

Hawker 800XP one of about 20 jets inside hangars at Dulles Jet Center. Deconstruction of the hangar will begin this week, and eventual removal of the aircraft. |
