The 787 was an empty aircraft being pushed back from gate 23. When pushing back there is suppose to be someone along the wing known as a wing walker who would guide and inform the tug driver if they are close to hitting anything. I believe there could have been miscommunication or no comms when the wingtip of the virgin 787 hit the horizontal stabilizer of a FULLY LOADED British Airways A350-1000 at gate 25.
Does anyone know if this can be repaired?
@wesellanybiz the Beluga just landed to bring a new horizontal stabilizer
@@daarmin2909 so it’s been parked there for 5 months?
@@wesellanybiz exactly, yes
Damn, Virgin Atlantic still beefing with British Airways?
How is it possible??? I’m guessing the 787 was taxing to the gate and a350 was parked up
No the 787 was being pushed back

When? Where? Click bait? This is covered in no newspapers. LIARS. This never happened today or recently; probably never.
You can see the damage... and The Guardian reported on it 2 days ago.

wdym “it never happened” you can clearly see it happened
