Blair flight in runway confusion
A British Airways (BA) plane carrying 343 passengers and crew including Tony Blair and his family has overrun the main runway at Miami Airport. No-one on board the Boeing 747-400 plane was injured after the incident. BA said the pilot could not see the lights leading to the taxiway ? causing him to hit more lights ? and the plane had to be realigned.
Blair was on his way to stay with Bee Gees star Robin Gibb at his house in Miami Beach. The Prime minister was seated in first class on flight 209 from London, which landed at 2315 GMT , the US Secret Service said. ?The captain believed the lighting on the taxiway was not sufficient to guide him and an airport vehicle was requested to realign the plane,? a spokeswoman said.
