12-11-2007 Lusaka airport, Zambia Panic gripped on lookers and passengers at the Lusaka International airport when a South African airways passenger plane hit into a stationary truck upon arrival from Johannesburg.A ZANIS crew that rushed to scene around 15:00 hours found airport officials and fire service personnel and South African Airways officials inspecting the Boeing 737-700 registration number ZS-SJD. Uncompromising Airport and Zambia Police Officers could not however allow the crew access to the accident site as management had instructed them not to allow the press.According to an eye witness who refused to be identified, the plane was about to park at the apron before passengers could disembark when its left wing that was dented, hit into the stationary utility truck registration number KYZ 207.Efforts to get a comment from South African Airways officials also proved futile as they categorically refused to comment on the matter.The lady official who was found at the airlines office told the crew that the airline does not give information to the press on such matters and referred the news crew back to the airport officials.No casualties were recorded and both airport and airline officials further refused to state the number of passengers on board citing security reasons.This has been the airline policy since the September 11th attack in the United States when two planes were hijacked by suspected Al-Quaeda terrorists hit into the twin towers at the world trade centre in New York.

well thanks, im glad someone does. I would even bet that the repair only took 12 hours to do, after all the investigating was done. just pop off the leading edge , light and repair the rib and viola the plane hunts down the next unsuspecting container, or bird. funny to watch and im glad the people on the plane have a sense of humor about it, i like the laughing.

Well i dont know how far it is over the line it was before it got knocked over. but if you pause at 1:34 it would appear to me that there was plenty of room. Its just the way things work in aviation... if a 737 is aloud to use that taxi, then there should be more like 15 meeters of space on each side, not just a couple of feet. anyways... doesnt really matter... shit happens... and the structure guys like myself must have been happy they got a good job to fix. beats corrosion prevention .

Yh it looked like the containers fault because if you see at 1:40 The container on the ground is passing the white line but the other one is a good 3-4 ft away from the line. Which isnt that far but Good?

haha well, i guess the inquiry would tell you. To me, the food truck looks like it was within the lines before it was hit. even if its a foot over the line... the plane should have had more then enough room . Im no "future pilot" but i have been around this stuff a long time . i can assure you its pilot error. The person who parked there is supposed to (thats what the white lines are for.) im not making this stuff up.
