I am truly amazed at how this aircraft just cut through the wall. Glad to hear that there were no fatalities.

These are big heavy airplanes, even empty, so it takes a long time to get them moving. How did it get so far without them slamming on reverse?
I hope everyone is ok.

Ouch!!! Multi-million dollar write-off!!! Even though no fatalities, could be some very significant injuries.

From the pictures it seems those in the cockpit were very lucky indeed. Sad to see a brand new bird like that but thank God for no fatalaties
