Default Jet crashes through fence onto Las Vegas street

Ok, perhaps "crashes" isn't the best word, but someone forgot the
chocks! Yikes. Expensive mistake. Maybe it was just trying to pick up
some high rollers at the MGM for the trip home.....



"A small passenger jet knocked down a fence at McCarran International
Airport and poked its nose several feet into Tropicana Avenue on
Wednesday night, causing at least one fender bender and forcing the
street's closure from Koval Lane to Paradise Road for about five hours.

The unoccupied plane struck the fence about 6:45 p.m.

Linda Healey, a spokeswoman for McCarran, said officials didn't know
what caused the Dassault Falcon 900 EX to go through the fence. The
plane had been parked on the tarmac before it moved toward the street,
Healey said."
