    :arrow: Luxemburg Airport Technician Needs New Drawers After Close Encounter with a 747
    January 23rd, 2010 • By Matt Molnar

    A technician sent out to repair a runway light was nearly squished when his vehicle’s roof was impacted by one of the main gear of a Cargolux 747-400F (reg LX-OCV). The flight, arriving from Barcelona (BCN) was cleared to land on runway 24 at Luxemburg Findel Airport (LUX) despite the van’s presence on the runway. [FULL STORY W/PHOTO]
    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 trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    That is the most simultaneously enjoyable and terrifying thing I have ever read.
