Airbus A380 F-WWDD MSN004
PARIS — When a superjumbo gets just a bit too close, this is what can happen. Here’s a view from a different angle. A380 MSN004 returned to Toulouse late Monday evening for repairs. The prang occurred just after the aircraft landed and was being towed from the taxiway to the static display, and was not under its own power at the time of the incident.
Special thanks to the person who shared this.
