Yep....true.
SQ 777 clipped its wingtip with a stationary Air China 737 in poor visibility.Cited as pilot error on the part of the Sq pilot. All pax had to be deplaned and accomodated in Crown Plaza Beijing Ufn.
The 'pilot error' source is a chinese national paper.So go figure...
Wingtip contact is very serious buisness in SIA or for that matter in ANY airline in the world. Wonder what CAAS has to say about this one and how SIA goes about it.
Time will tell..
