Hangar collapse reported at Dulles Jet Center due to heavy snow, no owners have been allowed in, and they have been unable to remove any aircraft.
Reports are, it happened around 8am, 5 persons were in the building at the time, fortunately nobody was injured. Four biz jets are inside the collapsed hanger, damage unknown.
There is a private 737 and a private 757 at Burbank. I never see then on the line and assume they are hangared. Remember when the 737 can back from North Korea? They pulled the plane into a hangar.
Anyone familiar with commercial construction knows that’s what structural engineers are for. And alot of times, acts of God are exempt from liability in certain circumstances. I’m not sure how their policies are set up, but 24+" of snow in less than a day might be one of them.
C-FRKQ Global Express XRS just registered N89MX in December!!!,
and Airliners photo of N585JC Gulfstream V owned by Hilton Hotels.
Wow, reminds me of the Whittier earthquake in Reseda - every alley I looked down, the roofs had collapsed on all the cars, and the back ends where sticking up in the air - dozens of cars.
Amazing photos. I see 3 very sorry looking Global’s and the Gulfstream V.
