Default FDX Welcome to Asia

MANILA (Reuters) – A Philippine plane with 80 passengers aboard was seconds away from a crash when a man teaching his girlfriend to drive sped across the runway as the aircraft landed, newspapers reported Tuesday.
The Cebu Pacific plane briefly touched down at Legazpi airport in the central Philippines Saturday but took off again as the van being driven by the couple crossed the runway, the Philippine Star newspaper said.
The man is the son of a local aviation official, who has been ordered suspended from duty.
"It could have been a disaster if not for the presence of mind of a veteran pilot," Legazpi Mayor Noel Rosal told the newspaper.


So why is it we did the refused landing in the MD-11 CMV??

I know this one, I know this one!!!

It's trained you to take off again, when a guy teaching his girlfriend to drive, speeds across the runway. Right?

I guess a Filipino teaching his girlfriend to drive is more politically correct these days.
