Etihad Airlines is now short one airplane. Last night, engineers were testing the engines of their newest Airbus A340-600 when the plane suddenly jumped the chocks and crashed into a jet blast barrier. The tests were being conducted at the Airbus factory in Toulouse France before delivery to the airline.
10 people were on board and 5 sustained minor injuries. The aircraft, however, looks like it might be a write-off.
