A380 hits a CRJ700 while taxiing at JFK

"Air France Flight 7 F-HPJD bound for Paris, was taxiing on a runway when its left wingtip struck the tail of Comair Flight 6293, which had just landed from Boston and was taxiing to its gate at Kennedy, one of the nation's busiest airports." [YT]

You mean "Surely no one was standing up in there."

I was standing at the cargo bin door of a SAAB once, getting ready to hop in when a CRJ-200's wing clipped the SAAB's wing and rocked it pretty good. I've seen incidents like in this video from aircraft being pushed back but, never from a taxiing aircraft and never that severe.

If you look to the lower right you see a glowing orb kind of shape moving towards the CRJ 7 and when the aircraft starts swinging around you see it hopping back, that's the marshaller's vest glowing. I'm curious as to who takes a hit for this, airport operations or the marshallers for not parking the CRJ 7 as soon as it got there... or the pilot of the airbus for just charging on through because some pilots are assholes like that.

Only Leslie Nielsen was.>> ^Payback:
That is some serious acceleration to the cockpit of the commuter plane. I hope no one was standing up in there.

It is very important... and don't call me Shirley.

There's no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you'll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?

Striker, listen, and you listen close: flying a plane is no different than riding a bicycle, just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.

and lastly...

Captain, how soon can you land?
I can't tell.
You can tell me. I'm a doctor.
No. I mean I'm just not sure.
Well, can't you take a guess?
Well, not for another two hours.
You can't take a guess for another two hours? >> ^Payback:

...but that's not important right now. Surely, you understand that?

Passenger sitting in big A380: "Did we just hit a little bump?"


That's overstating it. I saw this on the news yesterday, and they said the passengers thought the plane hit a rough spot on the tarmac and then wondered why they were stopping.
