“A Boeing 787 plane bound for Los Angeles nosedived onto the runway while parked at Frankfurt airport after the landing gear unexpectedly collapsed.”

The worst worded sentence I’ve read in a long time. It wasn’t on the runway. It was parked and not moving, so it couldn’t nosedive and be parked at the same time.

Yep. As a former air traffic controller, I can absolutely guarantee I would never let an aircraft on the runway, in order to board passengers. The article writer is a moron.
