Title: KAL257 strikes ground vehicle at JFK. One injured.
Post by: onesierrawhiskey on June 09, 2009, 01:36:19 AM: Korean Air Lines Flight 257, a boeing 747-400, struck a ground vehicle while taxing to a gate at JFK shortly after arriving from Anchorage.

Clip is from Archive, starts with the KAL rollout, taxi instructions, strike occurs at 5:10 of the recording. Lots of dead space, sorry, no editor handy at the time.

Always? I heard fighter jets and small planes having no ramp at all.

What??

ALL moving aircraft have the right of way over all vehicles except emergency and opps vehicles with lights flashing...UAramper is 100% correct here.

Post by: evilcuban on June 20, 2009, 02:18:56 PM: Interesting, but I don't see the resolution, and I wonder why he hit it exactly. Sounds like it was parked, but I doubt it should have been parked where it was if it was possible for an aircraft to strike it...no?

Post by: Lost around KLAW on June 23, 2009, 01:08:24 PM: Whoa.... Gives you an idea of how stout the leading edge of the wing is on this aircraft. It's also a good thing there were no walkers around that truck while it was waiting to service the aircraft..
