Air France's A380 clips Comair CRJ at JFK

[relief tube]

video shows the crj getting spun 45 degrees in about 1 second. whoops

Crj's position was established (not moving) and that cockpit was turned away from the A380. Don't know if it was a blind turn for the 380 but unless it was it was AF's fault.

An aircraft of that size should be escorted to the runway by ground crews. Would have stopped this accident. Must be too expensive.

That's one way to enforce a scope clause. Thanks, AF.

What a conundrum for the Mods... does it go into the Foreign or Regional forum?

Like I said in the thread that got tossed to the Foreign Forum -

Air France, doing what DAL ALPA can't.

Maybe A380 guys can get "RJ Killer" stickers made up for their flight bags.

We need a taxiway alley for this one.. it goes in both.. but since Air France did the hitting.. they get the Called charge foul..

It looks like more damage was done to the 380 than the rj. sounds like the rj guys should be getting "A380 Killer" stickers. Ill bet the rj could have flown after the accident- the 380, not so much.

Wow from the video I saw I bet the Rj is a total loss. I bet it bent/ twisted the back of the airplane that they say its not worth fixing. But well see???
