Anybody see this yet?

Didn't know where to put this so I stuck it in here. A Falcon got blown away from its "tie down" at LAS and shut down Tropicana Ave. Here is the link, couldn't find a picture yet. Nobody hurt, and nobody on board. Apparently it went through a fence.

ahh......so that's what all the lights were for on the north side of the field.

I never really considered a Falcon 900 to be "small". Did someone forget the chocks?

"...I fuel planes for a living." later "....a learjet coming through the fence like that..."

Tropicana...would that have been Atlantic?

N900Q, pictures shown on CNN. A/C didn't look dammaged other than paint. However, if it was my aircraft I would have a good inspection over the landing gear.

I'd bet on rolling downhill as the cause. Winds were 20 Kts out of the north that night, it would have been rolling into the wind to get to Tropicana. What a mess.
