Title: Southampton airport: Smoke prompts flights suspension
Post by: mhm on November 09, 2014, 09:35:11 PM
Flights to and from Southampton Airport had to be suspended after smoke started coming out from underneath a plane.

The Flybe Bombardier Dash 8, which had 76 passengers and four crew on board, aborted take-off while it was taxiing on the runway on Sunday afternoon.

The plane, which was to fly to Guernsey, was subsequently evacuated and no injuries have been reported.

Love the BAe146 photo on the BT.com page linked from the BBC page:

We can comment on things we are knowledgeable about so how many new stories outside our experience are incorrect?

Would I trust a journalist to get anything correct?

Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward.  And Robert Peston.
