Accident: Egypt Air A332 at Cairo on Apr 2nd 2010, didn't fit between two light poles
An Egypt Air Airbus A330-200, registration SU-GCI performing flight MS-267 from Cairo to Hurghada (Egypt) with 195 passengers, was taxiing off stand 310 in preparation for departure.

No inuries occured. Both wings thus received substantial damage, both light poles collapsed.
A replacement Airbus A330-200 registration SU-GCF reached Hurghada with a delay of 3 hours.
Egypt's Civil Aviation Authority have launched an investigation.
