A week after the tragic crash of Lion Air flight JT610 on October 29 another Lion Air Boeing 737 has had an incident this time crashing into a pole while taxiing out to the runway for takeoff from Bengkulu to Jakarta.
The crash caused the Boeing 737-900’s wing to tear. No passengers or crew were hurt. Another aircraft and crew were assigned to the flight which departed about four and a half hours late.
Lion Air again, the airplane was ready for take off and hit a light pole at Fatmawati Bengkulu Airport, Aircraft Reg JT-633, Route BKS-CGK. Something big and wrong is happening there …. pic.twitter.com/Tu54yoPCyk

Oddly Benkulu, Indonesia was the sight of a separate incident I wrote about yesterday.
A+ airline.
I won’t be flying this airline if they fly with a broken wing! Are they a member of One World, Sky Team or Star Alliance?
The article clearly says another AIRCRAFT and CREW were assigned to the flight.
Who will buy up these planes once Lion Air is done with them???
@Robert: Lion will crash them so no buyer needed.
