This is one of those stories where you do a double take.
A United Airlines Boeing 767 was landing at Newark Liberty International Airport and somehow made contact with a catering truck… yes, a bread truck… during landing.
You’ve got a massive widebody aircraft coming down the runway, and there’s ground equipment close enough to get clipped. That’s not normal. At all.
Early reports say the plane struck the truck just before touchdown. Only minor injuries reported for the truck driver, which is honestly the biggest win in all of this. But the visual alone is wild, something you’d expect in a movie, not real life.
From an aviation standpoint, this turns into a serious coordination question. Airports run on tight choreography between pilots and ground crews. Every vehicle, every movement, every clearance is supposed to be locked in. So for something like this to happen, there’s going to be a deep dive into who was where, and why.
