  • 737 flies into bulllet.

    No one was hurt when Southwest Airlines Flight 2494 was struck by gunfire while preparing to depart Dallas Love Field for Indianapolis.


    More accurately it was taxiing or maybe even parked.
    Les règles de l'aviation de base découragent de longues périodes de dur tirer vers le haut.

    Yikes. I hope the Haiti incident hasn't inspired a new wave of idiots to start shooting at planes. All it takes is one person to start it, then the news spreads, and then others with bad intentions get a new idea of something they can do to cause harm.

      I remember a report about arabs shooting guns in the air in celebration, and numerous deaths resulting from the bullets coming back down. Guns attract idiots. Maybe, if a bullet gets lodged in an airplane, it will save a life on the ground. You have to look at the bright side here.

        Yes but that bullet hitting the aircraft could hit a passenger killing them instead also the bullet hole will mean the aircraft won’t fly until it is fixed so really there is no bright side to this

          Right. Look at the ironic side. I don’t think people can do that anymore. You might also point out the the airplane did not fly into the bullet.
