The lawyers will love this one

A taxiing Air France A380 - the world's largest passenger plane - clipped a delta commuter jet with its wingtip at New York's JFK airport.

On Oct. 30, a A380 clipped the wing of another A380 that was parked at Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport. I wonder whether the pilots of the two moving A380s are continuing on flight status. Although the airports' ground controllers route the aircraft, the pilot in command is always ultimately responsible for safe flying or taxiing.

The commuter jet in the video was a Bombardier CRJ700 (pronuunced "bom-bar-dee-ae," not bom-bar-deer). It was a major impact. The big Airbus just spun it like a top, giving new seriousness to the standard caution to leave seat belts fastened until the aircraft is parked at the gate. Note that the smaller jet's left landing gear was lifted off the ground as the plane was spun counter-clockwise. It's not hard to imagine that some of the Bombardier's passengers suffered acceleration injuries, although first reports are that no one was injured. But just wait, lawsuits will follow and if there are actual injuries, well, they should.
