Just wild rumours so far:

A380 begins turn onto bay 24, but budget arrival crew not there to switch on the guidance system. A380 is holding up traffic on the tarmac and (rumour) ATC request them to move forward (I assume a little bit). Bridges are in the right spot (including bridge C, the one closest to the wing). A380 taxies over the stop line.... and bridge C supports hit the #2 engine, severely damaging the cowl. With engine still running, some of the broken bits are spat out the back of the engine.

Fingers pointing in all directions.

100 gawkers turn up with their iPhones... so there should be some pictures soon
