My understanding is that planes are not suppose to hit buildings...

"It is said that a female pilot was in a state of minor shock." - go figure!

If your pilot hits a building, and then is in a state of shock .... I think you need a new pilot. You're not supposed to hit things with the plane, and you are supposed to stay in control, when things go wrong.

Does this mean Alonso gets a 25 second grid penalty in Melbourne for avoidable contact (with a building)? Oh, that's only if HE had been piloting! ;-)

The plane was leaving the garage area when one of the wings touched the building, it was not taking off and apparently no accident, but incident...

After he hit the building, young Piquet ran into the plane knocking them both out of the race. Somehow Kazuki Nakajima was involved as well and will get DNF too.

I think that still is an accident... unless she intended to hit the building.

Next expect to hear that Alonso blames McLaren for the incident. It was Ron Dennis' fault.
