A380 shunt

Bare in mind that aircraft have to follow the green taxi lines which are also illuminated by green lights at night.

So either they were not following that line,running off the line,or the parked aircraft was parked too far back (not likely) or its a simple matter of the A380 just being too big for this taxiway . It all depends if it can be proved that the 380 was off track and too far to the left of the taxi lin
