Right! What a load of old crap is appearing here in the news AND in the states
An unfortunate accident and it mainly impacts on the pax who had to nightstop.
The BA011 was stationary with park brake set and the AirLanka was given permission to pass. It will be investigated fully as to exactly what happened. There was a coming together of wingtip leading edge of the A340 and the winglet of the 744. The 744 had (what was left of) its lefthand winglet removed IAW the MEL CDL and is now on its way to YVR.
End of!
