Stairs Blown Into Airplane in Strong Brisbane Storm
A set of runway stairs was blown into an airplane during stormy conditions at Brisbane Airport, Australia, on November 13.“The plane was shaking during a storm, like it was hitting turbulence,” the source of this footage said. “I saw the rain pelting on the window and started recording – I just happened to catch a set of stairs coming across the tarmac and hitting the plane.”
The storm around the airport was described by witnesses as “tornado-like,” according to the Courier Mail. The storm also reportedly knocked out power for around 8,000 homes in the region.
Australianaviation.com.au quoted a Qantas spokesman as saying four sets of airstairs had hit four planes, each set hitting one plane, during the storm. Credit: YouTube/Drano Drano via Storyful
