A British Airways jet crashed into a building just before take-off at Johannesburg's main airport last night, Dec. 22nd.

The Daily Mail reports that the aircraft was carrying around 180 passengers at O. R. Tambo International airport when its wing sliced into the top floor of a brick building, South Africa’s airport authority has confirmed.

Luckily, no one was seriously injured, but four employees who were in the building at the time sustained minor injuries.

A statement from the South African Civil Aviation Authority's (SACAA) preliminary report, the B747-400 aircraft was cleared for takeoff on Runway 03L.

The air crew got instructions from the Air Traffic Control to taxi using taxi way B. The crew continued onto taxi way M which is narrower resulting in the aircraft impacting on an office building behind the SAA Technical hangers.

A spokesman for the airport confirmed the plane had been damaged and said all passengers were being taken off the flight to spend the night in a hotel.

Read it somewhere earlier today. No one was injured except the pilots reputation.

The plane was taxing to take off, it took the wrong lane and got stuck, this is not a plane crash, the title is a little bit misleading.

Maybe a definition of crash would clarify things better. Did you look at the picture?
