Virgin Atlantic 787 vs Turkish A343 http://www.v-flyer.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=298391 |
Substantial damage to the 787 starboard wing, a team from Boeing have gone out to assess it. I believe a third aircraft may then have been hit by the 340. Quite special really. TIA |
Nothing in the local media. Presumably it wasn't as spectacular as the B747 which crashed into a 50 year old brick building...
|
Appears a Virgin B787 as it was being pushed back on departure, the RH wingtip area took out the APU doors of an A340 which itself was spun round and hit a B737. Sounds a bit expensive.
|
Ironically, the THY A343 had positioned from IST earlier in the day on what was probably going to be its last flight anyway, joining two others already in storage at JNB awaiting the axe.

Just to complete the story, the 787 is back in service after an outer wing section replacement. |
Who was responsible for the towing? (Some underpaid, relatively unskilled person, in all probability)

You may outsource the work, but you cannot outsource the responsibility.
