TechnoratiToulouse rugby team in low-cost plane scare
Toulouse rugby team endured a rocky start to their European Cup trip to Britain when the emergency exit door on their low-cost flight came loose, their players claimed.
The French side were on their way to Gloucester at around midday on Thursday when players and staff became increasingly concerned about their Danube Wing Airlines craft.
Backrow forward Yannick Nyanga tweeted "Leaving for Gloucester on a not very reassuring Slovakian company's plane. Wish me luck."
Some minutes later, he added: "The emergency door opens with just a single touch."
Winger Vincent Clerc wrote: "We are losing the door of the plane...I think
we'll have to change the company."
The team eventually left France around four hours later on an Airbus supplied by their sponsor.
