A British Airways jumbo jet parking at Johannesburg’s airport today ran over a member of the ground crew, severing the man’s legs.
The South African Press Association reported that witnesses said the man passed out while he was attempting to position wheel chocks on the Boeing 747. The agency said the plane then ran over the man, severing both legs.
The airline said in London that it had launched an investigation into the accident.
Flight BA55, with 283 passengers on board, had just arrived from London’s Heathrow airport. Passengers were kept on board for about an hour while the scene was cleared.
