Two planes were forced to return to the terminal at the Vancouver International Airport on Sunday after their wing tips collided on the tarmac.
Airport officials say none of the 240 people onboard the two planes were injured.
The Air Canada Dash 8 and the My Travel A330 bound for England were taxiing for takeoff when they hit.
The Transportation Safety Board is investigating the collision.

The MYT 'bus (MDBD) clobbered the tail of the Dash-8.
I haven't seen the results but I'm told it was a substantial doink.
Also the Thomas Cook 'bus had an IFSD and single-engine approach to YVR.
Edited: I'm now told the TC donk failed shortly into the YVR-YYC sector so it returned.

YVR is quite anal about airside photos, and the Dash went to lie down in the hangar in fairly short order.
Nato 35 (above) reports the 'patched' A330 was at MAN later so maybe some of the local spotters shot it there.
