Read the newspaper today,

 

A truck which was towing the SIA A380 SQ221 broke down resulting the plane disconnecting from the truck and went onto the grass verge off the airport Tarmac. All 446 passengers were unhurt.

 

Passengers had to disembark so that the plane could repositioned on the tarmac and checked for damaged. After disembarking, the passengers were taken in a bus back to T3.

 

SIA made arrangements to enable "as many customers as possible" to continue their journey to Sydney.

 

This newspaper report is posted in a tiny section, very easy to miss to some people...

Don't make any insult to the good plane.

 

Any commecial plane will not be able to "thrust" itself out of the soft soil if it is laden with pax, fuel, and cargo.

 

For the A380, the recovery criteria is to have the a/c at max of 330T. So alot of the fuel must be de-fuel AND THEN she can be "pulled" out, this is due reduce chances of damaging the WLG, BLG and also not to forget the NLG.
