Yup, now serving as the first wide body A320 ever...

Alas not - 22-year-old A320 on its way to the scrapyard to be turned into saucepans. Or possibly woks.

From the linked report:


Local news reports say neither the bridge nor the aircraft sustained any serious damage.
Hmm.

It's strange that they didn't get a "too low" aural warning in the cockpit! :}

Probably forgot to activate the Bridge Proximity Warning System.

Maybe their checklist requested Beacon - off.

I guess it was an aerobridge:}


I suppose Sully's aircraft could have hit a bridge eventually..

I'm impressed with the soft field landing gear. If only they had let out the tire pressure a little earlier.

Totally messed up the "quiet bridge approach"

They make tupperware woks?

The incident went unreported until footage was posted on Chinese social media Weibo.
Says a lot about incident reporting and just culture in China :E

No. You need a 787 for that.
