That had the potential to be the worst aviation disaster in history. If that AC aircraft would have actually landed on that taxi way with those wide bodies fully fueled, the casualty count could have been up to 4 figures.

No doubt about that.

I'm curious how this is, in any way, connected to Harrison Ford.
