Two hurt after Iron Maiden's plane collides with truck

(CNN)Iron Maiden's personal Boeing 747 collided with a tow truck Saturday at an airport in Chile, causing major damage to the aircraft and injuring two airport workers on the ground, the band said.

The plane, dubbed Ed Force One, was tethered to a truck at the Santiago International Airport and was being moved to be refueled and prepped for the next flight.

I'm extremely bothered by the girth of those antennas on top of the fuselage.

I was able to get a great picture of the plane during its stop in Vegas. What a great show also.

Shame for that to happen.

Anyone else notice the scale of the workers vs the engine in this shot? Bad photoshop?

I think you're right. On second look, it does look like the workers are standing in the distance rather than beneath the engine.
