If I try to visualise the amount of force it took to shear the wingtip off like that, along with what I've experienced re Ryanair taxiing at DUB, then I agree with the eyewitness account that one plane was not going "slowly".

They will never learn while they maintain the expectation to rush when on the ground in order to achieve OTP.

RYR press release :
and trying, at least for the mind of the uninformed, to divert the blame to ATC!
If I was working in Dublin ground, from now I know what I would do
"Both aircraft were under the instruction of Dublin Airport Air Traffic Control at the time.

From the Beeb:
Quote:
It is understood tenders from Dublin Fire Brigade were sent to the airport as a precautionary measure.
Obviously it was no big deal if DUB ARFF couldn't be bothered...

Whether this fell within one of those I wouldn't know.

Well, with one of the largest fleets in Europe and a vast amount of sectors flown every day as an airline then statistically this 'outfit' will have a larger amount of mishaps. Per sectors flown I do not have any concerns about FR's number of mishaps.

Ryanair jet has top of wing ripped off after planes collide at Dublin Airport | Daily Mail Online
or alternatively from the print version the headline re the event " Passengers in runway terror"
But I do like the cartoon.
