GLASKOW, UK (Dixie Chicks Fans Website) - An aircraft carrying the American country rock band the Dixie Chicks has been involved in an accident at Glasgow Airport. A wing of the twin-engined jet carrying them from a concert in Dublin clipped an airport building while taxi-ing to its parking slot. No-one was hurt in the incident, a spokeswoman for the band said. The Dixie Chicks were due to play a sell-out concert at Glasgow's Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre. The band's publicist, Barbara Charone, said: "The girls are all absolutely fine. I'm sure it wasn't pleasant. The incident happened when part of the wing just hit a corner of the building." There were believed to have been 16 passengers and crew on board the aircraft. The band - Emily Robison, Natalie Maines and Martie Maguire - have been one of the most successful touring country acts, grossing about $60m from concerts last year.
