Video: A380 vs Comair

[IUSTACHECKEM]

I hope the flight crew was wearing their shoulder harnesses. 40+ feet of lateral movement in less than 2 seconds is the same as falling out of a 3 story window. How long did it take for the help to arrive? I hope the crew will be ok.

Was that video in real time or at 2x speed. No way anybody taxis a 380 at jfk at night that fast. Wow!

Don't be surprised if they try to pin this on the CRJ, at least in the media.

It's clearly the RJ's fault. They make them things too damn big now.

For those saying the crj got pushed around like a toy, you might want to take a look at the weight difference of the aircraft and the speed at the moron in the flight deck of the 380 was taxiing. I would say the rj did just fine. I wonder how many people on that plane are suffering from whiplash now though

Settle down Francis! The weight difference is exactly why the commuter plane got tossed like a toy!

Would love to read the CVR transcripts from both aircraft.

They already have, "the commuter should not have taxied in front of the jumbo who was taxing on a runway... CNN."

Guess they forgot to measure the 380's wing span for that area of pushback.. thats going to be expensive to fix.. not to mention the lost revenue for AF..

I got to say.. the CR has a tough Tail end!!.. I would have thought it would have ripped it off as hard as the Bus hit it..

I bet only one of them will get fixed. The other will get the scrap yard and the owner (DL) will get the cash.

Looks to me like that little ding will buff out (of the A380).

...and Skywest will get the replacement aircraft.

 

[MACH-TUCK]

This is clearly another example of how unsafe regional airline pilots are!!!

Luckily, the A380 was already painted white, so the French surrendering it was quick and painless at JFK.

I still think it might bounce your head off the side window...ouch

 

[Mr. Johnson]

Some airlines use a video for their safety briefing...just insert that clip during the "fasten seat belt" portion....

The pilots were even seen using the escape rope and leaving the passengers behind. Those French.

Ya got to know that the Vertical stab is bent all the way through the airframe..of that CRJ.. it took a Big wack, looks like the left main came off the ground for a moment.. like kids toys...

I bet that composite wing tip on the 380 will cost a pretty penny.. or is that a franc..

make that Euros and youd be correct.
