Snow shock in Munich: Luxury jet falls victim to winter – that’s behind the bizarre scene

Amazing incident in Munich: What’s behind the video from the airport. And how the snow chaos continued in the region on Sunday.

A small private jet has gained a bit of notoriety during the heavy snowfall in Bavaria over the weekend, which led to massive outages at Munich Airport. Because the fate of the plane concerns thousands of people online: the private jet tipped over backwards under the weight of the snow.

Many people online doubted the authenticity of the video. However, a spokesman for Munich Airport told “Merkur” that the recording was real – the incident had already occurred on Saturday night at the airport’s airfield.

The airport fire department was then able to right the plane again, the report said. Speculation that the plane was supposed to fly to Dubai for the UN climate conference has not been confirmed.

Air traffic at Munich Airport resumed on Sunday morning. The first trains were also rolling again in long-distance rail transport, but there were still major restrictions for passengers, as a railway spokeswoman told the dpa news agency.

Operations at the main train station in Munich initially started for the Munich – Nuremberg and Munich – Stuttgart routes, in both directions. However, there were fewer trains on the road and a ride could not be guaranteed. In addition, short-term outages could still occur.

A number of households in Bayernwerk’s network area were hit hard, as they temporarily had no electricity. According to a spokesman, the focus was on the area around Munich. Trees had fallen onto cables, and some of these were damaged or torn simply by the snow load.

Heavy snowfall largely paralyzed rail traffic in large parts of southern Germany on Saturday night. Trains that were covered in snow couldn’t start, trees that collapsed under the weight of the snow blocked tracks, and overhead lines were icy.
