h3dbx: can you explain how the parked aircraft "jumped" on bus?
""According to an aviation industry professional who witnessed the accident, the marshallers who signal the pilot flying the A340 are expected to be the major accountable personnel for the accident while the air-traffic controller at the tower is also to blame. Usually, three marshallers, one directly signaling the pilot and two watching out the clearance—space between planes on the taxiway—guide pilots on the ground. The taxiway has two directions, labeled C and D and the air-traffic controller was supposed to guide the plane to go towards the C direction in which case the accident could have been avoided.
According to the expert who opted not be named because the person is not entitled to give information to the press, the pilot, however, could have avoided the accident himself using his visual sight to pass the plane safely through the taxiway. The incident happened as the Emirate’s plane, on its way to Entebbe, Uganda, hit Ethiopian’s Boeing 777 which was parked nearby, at Stand 18 in the airport""
I have only witnessed once in my life a parked aircraft "jumping" on another one and that was in FL when Wilma passed by a few years back.
