    "The damage is very limited, it's superficial in the sense that there is possibly damage to tires, but nothing to the structure of the aircraft," said Singapore Airlines spokesman Stephen Forshaw.
    Superficial? Hmm the tires are pretty vital unless you're not planning on taxiing, taking off or landing.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.

    I would ssay that tire are superficial in the sense that they can be replaced with some ease in a faster amount of time than if they clipped a wing or had a dent or something.

    Photos here - scroll down the page (it's a French-language forum).

    Sounds like it didn't go off the runway, but rather it was being pushed back from the terminal, and the tug had a problem, and the a/c rolled off into the grass.

    Moose, thanks for the link to the french site! I was able to hone my skills!


    I, like Phil, nearly bought hte farm as I choked on my coffee. Reminded me of one of Phils old airport toy threads . LOL
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.
