Runway or another, it was a close one.

pilot must have been a cut above the rest,
this kind of thing is a grass roots problem

Obviously to be able to wing it like that, GT.

The point is that there are strict rules and regulations regarding activity in the perimeter of the runway so as to minimise the risk of accidents happening. In this case no accident happened, maybe the next time we might not be so lucky.

my point being its hardly news worthy, comic relief maybe.
These near miss type accidents happen regularly through out the world, this made the news because it was a lawnmower.

Don't blame it on the lawn mowers!

They should be spraying whiskey on the lawns, so the grass grows half-cut! :pac:

"only in nigeria! :mad:"

WHat makes you think that it is an exclusively Irish thing op???

From the same page.....

Last month police in Lagos arrested a cow after it attacked and killed a bus driver who stopped to urinate by the side of the road.

Moooving along, that's why we don't use cows as lawnmowers.

I wonder how quickly a Rolls-Royce engine could convert a cow into cooked burgers.......

Will the Airport Garden ever learn to keep their eyes open while they're on duty?

Tá a "lawn" obair a dhéanamh acu if they want to avoid another accident like this...

Good thing the fabled aeroplane toilets were out of bounds for landing, otherwise he may have encountered some residual fertiliser...
