This is the same story that was posted earlier, but not near the detail of pictures.

Does your buddy actually know how the hell that happened?

i wasn't sure if this had been posted or not.

pretty much from what they can gather the mx guys were repositioning the plane, using a closed taxiway. the driver of the truck sustained minor injuries, and the mx guys were uninjured. i believe it happened on taxiway romeo

The story was posted but these pictures are far better. Looks like it might actually be the edge of a runway.

OUCH! I'm surprised nobody got killed in the truck.

I thought he was taken to the hospital in critical condition. That was the initial report anyway.
