It was just saying that this is the first incident for the A380, which had its first commercial flight last October.

Originally posted by CathayPacificYesterday, an A380 from Singapore Airlines departed the runway and rolled onto the grass at Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) as it was towed out to the runway for the flight to Sydney. The incident was caused by problems with the tow truck (nothing to do with the plane). But the flight was cancelled and all passengers were transferred to a Boeing 747-400 aircraft. Singapore Airlines is going to assess if the A380 has sustained any damage.Originally posted by pilotgolferWell when you're going backwards and hit the brakes, you tend to keep going in that general direction. Simple matter of inertia.

I'm not a fanboy of the A380 or any aircraft really. this just seems like too little to late. the tug had control of the plane... they went "off course"... from the pictures you can see the cap of A380 did put on the brakes, to no satisfacition.
why didn't it pull out on it's own power? shit, talk to the insurance company and i'm SURE they can give you answers for years.
i understand the race between AB & Boi... but to me, they have both made magical birds... that i'll never fly. cheers to them both!
