Kansas City Man Stops Wild Plane at Airport
Kansas City saw a dramatic incident as a runaway monoplane skittered on the ground for 24 minutes, delaying arrivals of large airliners. Dave White, 29, a former navy flyer, boarded the plane, grabbed a wingtip, and climbed into the cockpit to halt it. About 2,000 spectators watched while attempts to block the wheels and shoot out a tire failed until White seized control. Six commercial airliners and around a dozen small planes circled overhead until the danger ended.
