A passenger plane damaged its landing gear when it made an emergency stop
during take-off after another jet moved onto the runway.
The Singapore Airlines Boeing flight to San Francisco was accelerating for
takeoff at Seoul Incheon Airport in South Korea when a Korean Air Airbus flight
to Saint Petersburg, Russia, unexpectedly taxied onto the runway.
The Singapore Airlines plane, which had 186 people on board, was travelling
at 120mph when it made the emergency stop, shredding the tyres and disabling the
aircraft.
After repairs it took off again about 19 hours after the
accident.
The Korean Air flight was diverted back to the apron and left an hour and a
half after the incident, according to the Aviation Herald .
