That’s probably not how you’re supposed to refuel planes.

A fuel truck struck and damaged two aircraft at the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport on Monday morning, prompting an investigation into the cause of the incident.

The truck, believed to be operating for Allied Aviation, was filmed first colliding with the wing of one American Eagle jet, and then crashing into the wing of a second American Eagle jet, before coming to an abrupt stop.

Uhhhhh....were these self-driving trucks?

Good thing it’s not a fake Christmas movie.

Truck driver unhappy with union negotiations?

[hoagy62]

It sounds like the driver of the fuel truck was either high, drunk, or half-asleep at the wheel.

[ThunderSleeps]

Wow. He (?) clipped the first one, but really tagged the second one pretty good. Career limiting move.

[bkopto]

I wonder if the authorities will release the name of the driver.

I have suspicions.

[Psalm 73]

"Career limiting move."

Not if he's union.

[Texas Eagle]

Or could he or she have done it deliberately?

Or the steering went out.
Had the steering go out on my old 73 Newport once, fortunately I was only moving at five miles an hour in a dirt parking lot at the lake.

But fuel trucks probably have all kinds of redundant safet features to halt them in that instance, so yeah drunk.
Or texting.

Annual Performance Evaluation this year could be interesting.
New goal for 2020: Destroy fewer planes than last year.

Wow, the truck struck!

[billorites]

Someone’s gonna take a piss test.

[Magnum44]

Fuel truck driver identified as an English spy, from England...

[Pilgrim's Progress]

>>>Not if he’s union.<<<

The union will successfully negotiate for longer nap breaks for their drivers.

If the driver were from the religion of peace persuasion, he would have waiting until the planes were filled with passengers and he would have been driving faster.

It sounds like the driver of the fuel truck was either high, drunk, or half-asleep at the wheel.

Or maybe he was simply taking driving lessons for the very first time in his life.

Muzzie driver.
