The following incident occurred this Wednesday 7/28/2004 in Switzerland,
Zurich-Airport.

During the start of a passanger jet from Malaysia airlines with 228 passengers
on board, the tail had ground contact. A sixteen-year-old boy shot the attached
picture. The pilot decided immediately for a return to the airport, after
he had discharged 70 tons kerosene. A aviation specialist communicated that
the plane probably was wrong loaded.
