BRU 31/07/2013

Post by woutertheboy »

As already mentioned in the BRU 19/07/13 topic, OO-SFZ lost it's left wingtip and is standing in front of hangar 41 (maintenance hangar of SN). Due this incident SN221 BRU-BJL is already delayed over 1 hour. Someone knows what happened with this plane?
When in doubt, hold on to your altitude. No-one has ever collided with the sky.

Looks like the problem has been solved, OO-SFZ has just took off to BJL but we still don't know what happened with this frame. I also don't see any SN accidents listed on the aviation herald... :?: :?:

The Federal Aviation Administration wrote about it. Aviation Herald only reports incidents during active flights.

A view of the damaged wing.
I'm surprised to see that it could make the flight back home with only one winglet.

One woud ask himself if this happened with a Ryanair-plane, half luchtzak and HLN screwing around about safety regulations... :lol: But oh no, it's our little baby girl SN, don't dare to point your finger at her!

The A330 winglet is not big a deal, a few new screws and you put a new one in if the base is not bent. But the wingtip of the B777 and hit by the trailing edge...that's a bit messy.

With the other small "incident" in H41 (btw anyone know which airframe it was?), that makes a bad week for SN's insurer.
