RT by @SpaethFlies: Queen with an unwanted nose job... The bizarre incident of "HZ-AIO" (Yeah Saudia, gets his aircraft in weird spots) Thursday, 23 August 2001. A Saudi Arabian Airlines Boeing 747-300 [Registration "HZ-AIO"] is taxiing at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Malaysia. "Following technical problems with the engines, the aircraft had been transferred to a hangar at Kuala Lumpur for maintenance. In the evening, a team of six technicians was dispatched to convoy the aircraft to the main terminal, where 319 passengers were to embark on a flight to Jeddah. While on a taxiway, the engineers attempted to turn to another taxiway when control was lost. The aircraft veered off taxiway and came to rest, nose first, in a drainage ditch. All six occupants were injured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. At the time of the accident, only the engine n°2 and 3 only were running and it is believed that the auxiliary hydraulic pump switches were in the OFF position. Thus, the nosewheel steering system was inoperative as well as the brakes". ℹ️ BAAA ACRO
