Video: A380 vs Comair

[SPDBRD747400]

That had to be a scary few seconds there for the CRJ900 crew and passengers.

Details I know but it was a CR7.

Those guys shart themselves.

How do you say clear left in French?

On second look, the video is definitely sped up. Watch the truck on the lower right, it's moving a bit quick. The light that comes out behind the truck looks like a walking ramper and man does he move!!! The slowed down part of it actually looks like normal speed.

I think they sped it but made it slower than normal on slow speed. Look at the beacon, it takes forever to light up in slow speed. But yea the "normal" video definitely looks a little too fast.

Other commenters said the Comair was waiting to be marshalled in to the gate...said u could see marshaller walking up to the Comair plane.

Another reason why those lazy rampers need to be out there before the plane gets there so we don't have to wait.

 

[ohplease!]

Ribbet!

 

[jumppilot1000]

don't the supers normally take the left on Bravo?

When called in to be questioned by the authorities, the AF captain was overheard to say:


"I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries."

HAAA! Now thats funny.

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.

 

[Poahi]

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.

 

[GINCHBLASTER]

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!!!
