    Angola Airlines was just after completing a 180 on RWY 29 after back tracking it and was just lining up when the nose gear sunk into a hole. Full link to story here -> http://avherald.com/h?article=48050a1f&opt=0

    We've been saying for a while that its only a matter of time for this to happen in DUB on RWY 28/10.

    Ouch get the T-cut out, looks like manhole collapsed, it's fairly square and even. Pilots must have got a shock.

    There is a bit of a difference between a surface break up and a manhole cover giving way. Apples and oranges it would appear until the reports out.

    Either that hole has a very coincidental depth or those nose gear doors are rather stronger than they look!
