Hangar collapse Saturday at IAD

[JeffMSU]

Jet Center: "Hello insurance company, i would like to file a claim....."

Insurance Co: "HOW MUCH!?!?!?!"

 

[Mabgibai]

Wow sucks to see that. Some of those jets look like they just reached Vr.

 

[Jeremy]

Well that sucks. I guess that's what you get for buying a 15 million dollar jet. :dunno:

Then the insurance company pulls out a clause of snow accumulation reaching 2.13 inches and they don't hafta pay,...

 

[TallFlyer]

Well that sucks. I guess that's what you get for buying a 15 million dollar jet. :dunno:

Ha, the insurance company wishes they were only 15 million.

Try 50-60 million and up.

 

[Jacob Wall]

Gosh, that sucks to be the insurance company on this one...

That colorful Global Express was part of Kodak's corporate fleet, thats their color scheme. That is some wild stuff.

The insurance companies will deny the claims and force the owners to litigate, guaranteed. Then they'll settle out of court for much less than if they'd honored the claims in the first place. It's how insurance companies roll; just as in the health insurance industry, they make money by denying claims, not paying them.

 

[Orange Anchor]

So the blizzard of white snow is going to be replaced with a blizzard of white paper.. law suits.

Dulles Hangar Collapse

I just got these from a friend of mine. Who knew a Gulfstream could pop a wheelie?

Random question, but what kind of inspection would have to be done on these if they've had their tails crunched or sat on the rear mains for 5 days?

You beat me to it....... I watched it take off three or four days ago from ROC. Just what Kodak needed at this point in time.

add about 25 million EACH to the global's...new cost, not used.

 

[Pilotwannabe1123]

[ParrotheadJGR11]

[ChasenSFO]

[SoonerAv8r]

Something tells me that there will be a little more to the claim process on this one. There will most likely be claims against the construction and engineering firms that designed these hangars. Huge reinforced I-Beams and welds arent supposed to rip in two like that.

 

[Maurus]

I agree. Two separate hangers collapse like that?
