A Turkish Airlines jet struck a radar mast while taxiing to its gate at a Turkish airport on Thursday, tearing a hole in the fuselage and alarming 267 passengers aboard. The collision occurred during what should have been a routine approach to the terminal. The incident was captured on video, showing the moment of impact. No injuries were reported, though the damage to the aircraft was significant enough to require investigation into how the radar structure went undetected during the plane's approach.
