Default Air Midwest 1900 Sitting in MDW

Just thought I would make note of the 1900 sitting in MDW. If anyone wants to know why, that would be because a tug ran into the #1 engine with it running! I hear it wasn't that loud when it broke every blade off that left engine.
Well, any way I couldn't let 9E try and take all the spotlight

Nope, but I had the great opportunity to ferry the replacement at 1:30 am ...It was actually 2 CA's though because we can't staff FO's around here. It was a GCK CA and a MWA CA. Names in a more private arena maybe . I really don't know how that tug managed what they did but I guess it could have happened to any aircraft...but it wouldn't have made the tug driver sh!t himself if he hadn't got so close to those 9' props!

The same thing happened a three years ago when a fuel truck hit a Colgan 1900 at BDL. I don't think the plane ever flew again.
