Nobody Hurt, No Fenders Bent in Unusual
'Fender-Bender'
ATA Flight 925 was taxiing out to go to Chicago and
Seattle, when it was thought that a passenger was having a heart
attack. The plane was under tow, on its way back to the terminal,
when its port wing hit a deicing truck.
Neither of the two aboard the truck, nor any of
the 71 PAX and 6 crew, was hurt, in Thursday's strangest
accident.
One passenger, interviewed by local NBC affil WTHR-TV-13,
said, "It was pretty exciting. I've always wanted to survive a
plane crash and this is my day."
