it's not a fake pic,Man
it happened on B-HLG two days before typhoon Vincent
the L STAB smashed into the Mobile Tail Dock during aircraft movment by towing tug
the L STAB tip is damaged all the way from L/E to T/E
the loses is huge as the STAB structure is damaged,
airbus is clamining a $40m bucks bill for the STAB,
& its out of HX's capability to replace the STAB

sorry will find a way to link photo.....but its pretty horrific...
think of a can opener starting just above L4 and tracking back till its behind the stab just in front of the APU....its a HUGE GASH.
Think like ...Sort of "do I hear crunching noise?....nope....just keep pulling" and that's how big it looks.
