"A bus smashed into a passenger plane on runway"

File under how in heavens name could something like this happen?

Shattering its windscreen, this is the incredible moment a bus ploughed into a passenger plane at Tashkent airport in Uzbekistan.

The incident is difficult to comprehend as the collision was much more than just a minor skirmish on the runway at the busy Asian airport.

The damage on the vehicle is clear, although it is unknown if the engine of the Boeing 777 jet was damaged or if anyone was injured.

Lake Placid (NY) airport used to be a grass strip, with the longest runway crossed by a road going to the town dump with a stop sign.

I never had any trouble with cars, but there it was.

In some ways, it is a good thing it hit the engine. They are easier to repair than the fuselage.

That engine will have to be partially disassembled and carefully inspected. If any part of it is even one hair out of perfectly round, the engine is kaput.
