Sunday, December 30, 2007 180 passengers evacuated after plane takes
wrong turn at KCI By TONY RIZZO The Kansas City (MO) Star Becca Carr of Overland
Park, a passenger on the United Airlines flight, took this photo of the plane
stuck in mud at KCI. A plane carrying about
180 passengers made a wrong turn onto a service road at Kansas City
International Airport this morning and got stuck in mud, prompting the
evacuation of passengers. No one was injured
about 6:40 a.m. when the United flight was preparing to depart for Denver in
foggy conditions and turned onto the road instead of a taxiway, according to
airport officials. The nose gear and
right-side landing gear of the Boeing 757 got stuck in mud. Buses were
dispatched to take passengers to the terminal where airline officials were
making arrangements to get them to their destinations. |
