Crash landing at B'ham

What a piece of luck that my stepmother returned to Paris from B'ham airport yesterday, as a cargo plane crash landed there at 6am this morning shutting the airport until this afternoon! Luckily nobody was hurt, but it caused a massive backlog of flights, and the logistical nightmare of shuttling passengers to other airports, and planes being at the wrong place at the wrong time is one I don't even want to think about. I did feel sorry for my postman though. I met him running down my drive with the post this morning, and he was telling me he had to be at B'ham airport by 11am to catch his flight to go and watch the football. somehow, I don't think he would have made it to the match today...
