Pick-up truck hits 737 @ BWI

Guess the plane was not big enough for the driver to see it..

That's going to be a big auto insurance claim - leaving aside the 'other vehicle' repair costs there could be 160+ claims for whiplash injury from the occupants?

Ah, well the 737 was not wearing a hi viz vest, so no wonder the driver couldn’t see it...............totally the 737’s fault therefore.

Glad we flew into DCA rather than BWI last weekend. Will lessons be learned?

under maritime rules the pilot should have sounded his horn when he saw another vessel approaching

A plane crash and all survived!

5 Short blasts: Danger or Doubt..
Or the driver was stoned.
SWA Pilots don’t taxi fast of course...

Fairly good chance a look at driver’s cell phone will be the smoking gun.
