This happened during 2014, at Sialkot International Airport, Pakistan when a Boeing 737-400 did a High Power Engine Runup.
A Shaheen Air Boeing 737 was damaged in the incident.
Bricks came loose from the pavement and struck the horizontal stabilizer. We can only imagine the unnecessary and substantial repair expenses for both the aircraft and the runway infrastructure.
Oh, how I wish there was a video of this. Engines shredding the pavers, throwing them away… Luckily, no one was hurt.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of conducting engine runup procedures in designated areas with suitable surfaces to prevent such costly and potentially dangerous occurrences.
Oooh! That’s going to be paperwork! (But why was the surface constructed of pavers?)
Turbo-pneumatic loader/scraper/dozer/excavator.
Low cost ..cost cutting..also had video of it
