Just posted, a similar report (below) from The Australian, online. (The time lag in reporting seem unusual):
"Qantas jet damaged in NY
By staff writers
May 30, 2006
A QANTAS jet clipped a fence after arriving at New York's John F Kennedy International Airport today, authorities said.
AP reports that no one was hurt, and the plane was not significantly damaged.
The plane had flown in from Los Angeles and hit the fence as it was heading for a terminal.
AP said the plane landed safely about 5.30pm (0830 AEST), according to Tony Ciavolella, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the region's airports.
Passengers were reportedly held up for only a few minutes after the accident and then disembarked."
