MYT emergency landing at MAN
a my travel flight from LBA had to make an emergency landing at MAN today (aircraft a B757 reg G-PIDS ) after passengers heard loude banging from the rear of the aircraft
it landed on runway 24L but came in very shallow as it was 8 ton’s over weight the cause of the banging was a baggage strap with a metal buckle on it hanging out of the rear cargo hold
so now because someone did not do a proper walk round check at LBA the company has incured a huge cost of having to divert to MAN have the plane checked out (which is still grounded ) and put passengers on another plane …… this is something MYT just did not need at all
all to be taken lightheartedly!
