Door Ripped from SAS Airbus


On Jan 25, 2013, a Scandinavian Airlines SAS Airbus A320-232 with 150 aboard was at Gardermoen airport Norway loaded with passengers to Copenhagen when the SAS plane rolled backwards while it still was parked at gate 44. The door to the plane was ripped from its hinges.

Both the street and the plane were damaged.

Passengers were provided alternative flights. The crew and airport hope, optimistically, that the damaged can be handled expeditiously.

An investigation of how this could happen is underway.
