Look, let me try to once again put it into words anyone who has driven a car could understand.

Lets say you're driving along in a large car at night and you come across a vehicle sitting off to the left side of your path, you are unable to move to the right and now you're not quite sure if you can fit through. Instead of stopping and waiting a few minutes you push on through at high speed HOPING to fit through BUT lo and behold you knock off your wing mirrors and damage the other car.......

Now who do you think the Police/insurance assessors will blame?

You cannot assign blame to someone sitting on the side of the road minding their own business because you lack clear vision, judgement or indeed common sense ( in this case Airmanship )


And don't try to say "the A380 crew may not have seen the CRJ" That is no excuse and I don't believe for 1 second they didn't see the CRJ.
