interesting.... i heard that A330's wing clipped 747's fuselage :confused:. Who is right and has the correct news?

Iberworld was moving to another stand i believe. Mo passengers onboard. It's winglet sliced the rear of the 747 fuselage in the region of the APU, then damaged the tail spoiler too before coming to stop with it embedded in the spoiler

Thank you very much flyboyTC. Hard to believe things like that would happen and planes would be grounded. Was anyone escorting the 330? And nobody could see it coming?
