At this risk of spoiling things for everyone, has anyone actually got any FACTS on this incident, such as:[list=a][*]Was the 767 really on its take-off run when the collision occured?[*]Why did the 737 have its tail adjacent to the runway if it was waiting for departure? (but thank goodness it was not the other way round...)[/list=a]
Both if these, if true, would appear to make this rather an unusual event and therefore, dare I suggest, more newsworthy than if the collision had occured during the course of normal taxying.
