Two planes, from airlines Icelandair and Korean Air, collided at
Heathrow airport on Wednesday evening. A spokesman for London's
airport said there was a "minor collision" with no injuries, the BBC
and The Guardian report.
Images on social media show that emergency services rushed to the
scene after the collision that allegedly occurred on the runway.
Inside the Korean Air plane was a journalist from The Guardian, who
writes that a passenger saw the left wing of the plane hit the tail of
the Icelandair plane. That would have happened while taxiing.
Footage shows damage to the tail of the Icelandair plane. Due to the incident, passengers would have to deal with delayed flights.
The aircraft concerned are a Boeing 777-300 (registration: HL7782) of
Korean Air and a Boeing 757-200 (registration: TF-FIK) of Icelandair.
May be all pilots need to have English tests like they do in the UK.
Want to change my address on my PPL and Commercial licenses but the CAA insist I take an English test at 30 - 50 pounds by a examiner.
Pointed out to them that I have lived in the UK for some 75 years and also hold
other licences from MOD, USA, Barbados, Israel to name but a few and have never
been asked this, despite holding a radio certificate for all of them for in excess of 50 years.
They were not too impressed when I asked if the language (English) has changed in this time period :)
