This incident is not the same as the Asiana in any sense with regard to "airmanship". I'm a little vague here but I read somewhere that an NTSB or Boeing official made a statement that when designing an aircraft we assume that pilots learn to monitor speed during an approach in an early stage of their training. Pilots are not taught during an early stage of their training to take the bend to the left when the taxiway straight and the left bend are both equally lighted.
I am interested to know how fast he was taxiing though, by the distance he travelled through that building before he stopped, it seems to me he must have been taxiing fairly fast i.e. toward the straight line limit of the 747 (30 kts), I would have thought at night with cabin crew preparing for the departure maybe a slower speed would have been more appropriate. Just speculation, I know..
