as a Airbus A320 jet came to a complete stop,
on the roof of the branch of Argos adjacent to Southend
Airport, according
to witnesses, the EasyJet flight from Gran Canaria landed on the runway
shortly after 2pm this afternoon, and instead of stopping in the terminal a
sudden micro tornado pushed it on top of the retail park building and flipped
it around, everyone managed to get out safely and slide down the emergency
chutes, with UK Border Force taking over Sports Direct as an emergency
immigration processing centre, about an hour later, the airport’s
resident aircraft relocation crane arrived and put the jet back onto the
airport tarmac.’ Airport spokesperson Stedward O’Bart said: ‘Fortunately, the
flight from Gran Canaria only had 36 people on board, and this meant that the
plane was reasonably light when it came to a halt on top of Argos, We have
issued an urgent flight safety bulletin to all pilots in the region to say that
all landings should be kept to the runway in future.’ this incident capped off
a troubled week for Southend Airport, on Thursday, thick fog led to the pilot
of an incoming flight from Malaga getting disoriented and guiding the aircraft
to Prague.
