Lion Air: Plane involved in tarmac accident ...

A Lion Air plane has torn its wing after colliding with a lamp post at a Sumatra airport just over a week after Flight 610 crashed, killing all 189 passengers on board.

A Boeing 737-900 was grounded after crashing into a pole as it taxied to the runway at Bengkulu’s Fatmawati Soekarno airport around 6.30pm local time.

Indonesia’s Transportation Ministry said it would investigate how the Boeing passenger plane damaged its left wing on the runway.

I'm surprised they still didn't try to take off.

In fairness, The A380 left a cartoon style, Wingtip shaped hole in a building at an airshow. Shit happens, and it's happened more often than you'd imagine.
