Air France A380 strikes Delta CRJ
The horrific moment when a wing tip of an Air France Airbus A380 hits the tail of a Delta Connection aircraft on the ground. So much more could have gone wrong in this situation, more attention to large aircraft movements on the ground must me made. The FAA is investigating along with both airlines, but from the initial reports it appears as sloppy ground control is to blame for what really was a lucky escape.
