Accident in Zurich


The belly of an aircraft has been accidentally hit by a water servicing truck at Zurich yesterday resulting in a long delay. News are still sketchy at this point.

Few hours later:

The water servicing truck driver inadvertently stepped on the accelerator instead of the brakes and crashed into the belly of the aircraft damaging the hydraulic flap covering. The truck top was embedded within the underside of the fuselage. However, there was no fuel leakage.
Cabin crew was recalled back to their hotel as there may be a long delay.

Dear Mr. Luke,

Is the gear supposed to be so low?

Best wishes,
Mike
