Two more CAL planes get dinged

[densoo]

737 in Newark clipped tail of another plane with its wing. Just a couple of months ago they clipped two RJ tails (and would have clipped two more if ground hadn't frozen the entire ramp).

I hope you aren't suggesting that ground mishaps are somehow unique to CAL.

One must only look Southerly and Westerly to find a plethora of ground mishaps....................

"A harrowing ordeal for the passengers who had no idea what happened." she says.

How is that possible? If they had no idea it happened, how could it be harrowing to them?

b/c if it's described as "harrowing" they can sue the airline for millions of dollars in everything from lost wages to emotional distress.

This is right up there with the idiots and scumbag lawyers suing MacDonalds over themselves and their children being obese and unhealthy. "I'm sorry Judge, but I didn't know all those french fries would make me fat".

Ah CBS 2 News. So the location of this story went from a 'harrowing collision on runway' to a quiet insert of the tarmac. Love the part at the end about the 'pilot program' to allow planes to fly closer together. They really dug to sex this baby up.

"Both planes were evacuated". One was being pushed back by a tug, they both went back to a gate and "evacuated" via the jetways. The media sucks.
