British Airways wing clips S Africa OR Tambo airport building

Quote:
A plane carrying more than 200 people has struck an office building while preparing to take off from the South African city of Johannesburg.
Quote:
The British Airways flight to London was taxiing at OR Tambo International Airport when its right wing hit the building, injuring four people inside.

Images show the wing of the Boeing 747 wedged in the structure.

South Africa's Civil Aviation Authority said the aircraft had travelled down a taxi-way that was too narrow for it.

Thank God no one was seriously injured, however four people were injured in an office on the ground.
