Default video: jets collide on tarmac minneapolis

Probably need IE or Netscrape to view this. Freaky!

At least you don't need flash.

The video shows the aircraft travelling quite fast - takeoff speed in
fact, on the taxi ramp. I bet the security camera that caught this last
year has a slow frame rate and they didn't compensate.

The captain had reported hydraulic problems in flight, the plane landed
safely and taxiied without assistance. Then the hydraulic system failed
- no brakes, no steering. Why would the captain not requested a tow
after landing with bad hydraulics? Could they have used reverse thrust?
