Tips LOS ANGELES - A cargo plane being unloaded at Los Angeles International Airport became unbalanced and tipped onto its rear wheels Thursday, stranding seven workers 40 feet above ground. "As soon as they took whatever it was out of the back of the plane, the weight shifted and the plane just went back on its tail," said Bob Collis, a fire spokesman. The uninjured workers were rescued after about an hour by firefighters using a ladder truck, he said. Television footage showed a conveyor belt crushed under the plane's tail. The accident involving the MD-11 World Airways cargo plane happened around 3:15 a.m. at the airport's cargo complex, away from regular airport traffic. Collis said the same thing happened to another MD-11 in January 2002 in Sydney, Australia. Airport officials may have to use a crane to right the plane, Collis said. A message left at the Peachtree City, Ga.-based World Airways was not immediately returned Thursday.
