Bloody french drivers!!   

Seriously, if you're going to taxi with the world's largest airliner, wouldn't you want to be a bit AWARE of its wingspan?  Can't blame it all on the pilot, the tower deserves at least as much blame for parking that little commuter in a bad spot.

  Just a minor parking incident where does all the slamming into come from in the video caption, be suprised if there's very much damage but no doubt both planes will be taken out of service for checks. Planes have to be pretty tough to deal with the wind speeds and pressure loads they are under whilst taking to the skies, flying, and then landing again.

I would not be too surprised if the commuter plane suffered damage to the nose gear. It is not really designed to be dragged sideways.

It looks like the main gear received twisting moment that they probably weren't designed for, too.

We been having an outbreak of towers with only one controller on duty, with the controller falling asleep. It's been going on for years, but seems to finally be making the news.

Bloody french drivers!!   

I've heard the Airbus A380 referred to around airports as La Grande Grenouille.

I would love to hear the recording of the cockpit conversation in the seconds after. 

First word:- Maird!!
