Let the Blame Game begin.

Any one with First or second info?

Funny to hear two unauthorised sources who should know better bickering about an aviation incident pre-empting the role of the AIB.

The AIB should have at least made a cursory statement that it is aware of this incident and is investigating it as appropriate. Some should prod Muktar on the need to be proactive.

I've got a nice picture of Arik's winglet still in the C-130's wing, and spoke with the crew on the C-130 right after it happened. They blamed the Capt. of Arik for blatantly ignoring ground workers that pointed and instructed him to use the other taxi way. Actually saw the C-130 flying again yesterday.
