Alan Sugar was involved in a plane crash at Manchester’s City Airport over the weekend but ridiculed reports that he had “cheated death”. The Apprentice chief’s four-seater plane landed heavily during a thunderstorm and careered off the runway, damaging a propeller. “On Saturday during heavy rain and a thunderstorm we landed at Barton, a friendly and club-like airfield now named City Airport Manchester - a far grander name that it suggests with a grass runway about the same length as a football pitch,” Sir Alan told the Press Association. “As far as 'life-threatening' is concerned, to put things in perspective, my friend and I had as much chance of dying from the incident as we did in dying from food poisoning from the tuna sandwich that a very nice lady made us in the clubhouse whilst we waited for a mate to pick us up and take us home!”Alan Sugar in plane crash
