Default Accident at Szeged WGC

Am 30.07.10 16:46, schrieb R. Schierbeek:
A glider came in so low that it hit a truck or bus on the road that runs
outside the airport fence. The glider then cart-wheeled into the fence
which is wire mesh between massive 10 ft high concrete posts with barbed
wire on top. Everything on the glider was broken - wings and fuselage,
except the cockpit.

We later learned that the pilot apparently was not badly injured however
the driver of the truck is in serious condition.


Note the priorities:

1. The Glider has been broken
2. The Pilot is ok.
3. Oh, yeah, the truck driver. I nearly forgot. He is seriously injured
and will possibly lose an eye.
