This Day in Music

For December 19, 2005

1999 - Goo Goo Dolls narrowly avoid serious injury when the military plane they are aboard skids off the runway at a U.S. Naval Air Station in Sicily, Italy. The group is on its way back from Bosnia, where they had just performed for soldiers at Tuzla army base. The plane attempts two landing approaches before touching down on the third attempt. The plane skids off the runway and then slides back on again, damaging the craft`s landing gear and wing. Passengers exit via emergency chutes onto the runway.

I remember hearing about this on the radio in Buffalo the next morning. The radio stations and news channels were repeatedly saying the band was okay, etc.
