The NWA oopsie. How does wing clearance not register?
Hard to register when you have no control:


PROBABLE CAUSE: "The Captain of the other aircraft's decision to shutdown the left engine during taxi with no hydraulic pressure on the right side hydraulic system to effectively operate the brakes, steering, or thrust reversers. A factor was the fatigue fracture of the rudder shutoff valve which resulted in the loss of right side hydraulic pressure of the other aircraft."


Edit to add: I had forgotten about the Air France A380 hitting that RJ...bet that was an interesting ride for those guys.

Didn't the fuel tank on the airbus get pierced and fuel started pouring into the cockpit of the -9 through the broken window?
