Private jet trouble at Speke. John Henry?

[rb14]

Liverpool aerodrome (Speke. John Lennon my arse) temporarily closed due to a runway excursion by a private flight. 

 

"The aircraft flew from Newark to Hanscom field, not far out of Boston, then to Liverpool." So private jet then. Henry? 

 

Two crew, one cabin crew and one passenger. No fatalities reported. Apparently the plane is stuck in the grass; no surprises with a runway excursion.

Speke, friend, and enter.

It has hit fans travelling home from Austria. Bit off a stopover from Oslo and Malaysia that!

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Everton fans will think it was delivering their latest World Class manager.

If Linda needs carrying down the steps I am off today

What on earth were they were doing walking on the grass next to the runway?

Searching for Anfield if Evertonian taxi drivers are to be believed.

Mike Gordon was on it. Nobody hurt apparently. 

[rb14]

Phish-ing for sympathy I reckon. 

 

Oh, THAT Mike Gordon.

Arl arse. My girlfriends auntie has days to live and her Dad was due to fly in from Madrid today to say bye to his sister but his flights been cancelled apparently. Surely if it just skidded onto the grass it shouldn't cancel loads of flights

You have NO idea. You think everyday life is sometimes over-governed by red tape and H&S? Try aviation. Seriously the bureaucracy is mind-boggling. You realise a simple runway excursion will result in a minimum three-month investigation examining - in minute detail - every possible factor, from the pilots, the operating company, the flight records, maintenance log, the runway condition, airport procedures, how high the grass was, weather conditions? In fact, you think of any possible influence, however remote, and you'll still get nowhere near.

 

The UK agency responsible, the AAIB, will probably issue an initial report pending the full report in a year's time. 

 

Immediately, and before any flights are allowed to proceed at Speke, they'll be examining every inch of runway, whilst they figure out in the most convoluted way possible, how to move the plane. Then they'll want to repair the grass where the jet undoubtedly dug in. I'm really not kidding. 

 

The only surprise is they've not put the entire airport on "lockdown". Seriously, if I hear that term being used one more fucking time. Fucking lockdown my fat arse. 

 

If there's a slow puncture on a baggage trolley they'll cancel a hundred flights.

To be honest, that's actually very reassuring. Can't think of anywhere else I'd want absolutely shit loads of meticulous bureaucracy than from the people who make sure the planes are safe to fly

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Was Jordon Ibe flying it?

Yep, there’s a very good reason for it

Cant wait for this to be on Discovery Channel and Aircrash Investigation. Thankfully no moles where hurt during the excursion off the runway. Crew and passenger also safe.

I love reading AAIB and NTSB reports.

Also heard it was due to an AIRPROX with the Babelcopter.

Ridiculous premise for a thread, this 

 

Henry travels by yacht or spaceship 

[sir roger]

Mike Gordon and 3 staff involved. They've closed the airport down for the day

What sinister development in the story of the crashed flight is this?
