Here are some pic's my sister sent today... this happened yesterday... from her Firemen’s job at O'Hare Field. She said the guy jumped out before it hit.

It was a matter of being in the wrong place... at the wrong time.

She did not say in her e-mail if the person was driving or sitting still... I think the were both moving down the many taxi ways at O'Hare.

Cool pics Jim, Thanks for sharing. You should have said "The recently unemployed driver jumped." You know someone is in it deep.

My first thought exactly, If the truck was moving on the runway the driver may or may not be lucky to have walked away from the accident. He would probably walk away from his job as wel...
Then again, if the truck was where it should have been, somebody is going to ask the (recently unemployed) pilot where he thought he was going...

We had plane hit warehouse yesterday morning after crossing busy State Hyway, and hitting two cars along the way... talk about screwing up the morning rush hour. Only photo I could find was a tiny thumbnail..... so didn't even save it. Amazingly no one was killed.
