Air France Airbus 380 jet hits Delta Comair airplane at JFK airport

[motopilot322]

"I said pull up to the 3rd line!!"

[TheDepressedNinja]

You know how they tell you to keep your seatbelt fastened till the plane is parked at the gate?... maybe they actually have a point...

[RayToolbear]

those are like toys.

[Notimefortheweak]

@INetworksNY

Your damn right! :D

[Dreman1731]

Big plane said to the little plane, "bitch get out my way!"

[mrktacoma]

That is not an A380, it is an A340.

[mikel1982]

@mrktacoma it is a 380, the video is stretched and blurry.

[1993GOS]

@mrktacoma nahhh a380 you can the the second deck and it was on the news when it happened

[pikiri75]

Air France is la merde

[MISTERMORNE]

slow down!!!!

[FSXFS2002]

the crj looks like a model plane that you just hit with your hand

[Leuel48fan]

if it aint a boeing, i aint going!

[alexcantsleep888]

A bit of T-Cut should sort that out

[khasixing1382]

Awesome video here is my vid of airbus a380 takeoff youtube.com/watch?v=6R9L8-Va-n­k

[iNetworksNY]

There ya go... that's why u keep your damn Seat belt on till they say so

[kikipoo25]

Damn, I would've thrown up so bad if I were on that CRJ

[cowsgrowltoo]

Thats what happens when you leave the....oh forget it

[IIxXGhostTrainXxII]

Rooster Teeth drunk tank?

[talisbriedis]

Only NBC produces more failed pilots than AirFrance....

[ashishgshetti]

Planes must have side view mirrors .... like Mator :)

[Korbs21]

Pushed it like its a toy.. lol

[bulgug7]

Small planes are just gay!

[AcadianBreaker]

@bulgug7 YOU'RE gay! Small planes are more efficient and sometimes needed. It doesn't make sense to have a huge Airbus or Boeing on a small route like Toronto-Washington or Chicago-St-Louis.

Also, tow crew ALWAYS rotates the aircraft, they will never leave it facing the terminal.

[rachiti]

@AcadianBreaker FYI using 'gay' as a negative term is NOT acceptable under any circumstances. Now you know - don't do it again.

[rachiti]

@bulgug7 And you're ignorant. Using 'gay' as a negative term is NOT acceptable under any circumstances. If you do it again they you're just a worthless troll.

[Nintenkid91]

Man the way the A380 hits the CRJ makes it look like a toy.

[FISKram]

Actually the French aren't to blame here. They are told where to taxi by ATC. Either ATC or whoever parked that small plane is to blame, most likely it's ATC's fault. By the way, ATC = Air traffic control.

[Srirachaa]

@FISKram Wrong. I fly the 900 and park at that same spot in JFK. ATC controls the taxi ways. Ramp controls those alley ways the 900 was on. Either the ramp crew pushed um back to far or they taxied in not far enough. The roomer is Air France was not on centerline.

[captainmorgan757]

@Srirachaa ...the preferred spelling of "roomer" is r-u-m-o-r, if you mean the definition as the general circulation without confirmation. I am unfamiliar with the word r-o-o-m-e-r.

[Srirachaa]

@captainmorgan757 Thanks for the correction captain. Lol. Yes, I meant rumor. The fact that you just corrected my spelling from my youtube comment I made, says a lot about you.

[KG84C]

@Srirachaa If you fly, I'm sure you can spell. You fly a "Bowing" ?

[Srirachaa]

@KG84C It says you must be able to read, write, and understand the English language...Did they add spelling in there too? Shit, I might be in trouble.

[balikadam35]

France woman driver :)

please use caution when opening overhead bins as items (and passengers) may have shifted

[NoFxxxxxxWay]

it's a woman :)

[MusicGeneration2008]

@NoFxxxxxxWay its you

[Elodea]

You can bet that since this was a New York arrival, all those jerks in CRJ 700 had secretly released their seat belts "although the aircraft had not come to a complete stop at the gate" so that they could race for the door and be the "first one off!"

[stblclar]

Before criticizing the "stupid frenchies" (that made that you're still a country, btw, you the big saviors of the world), get the real story. It is ABSOLUTELY not the AF pilot's fault. He was taxiing and the comet "stupid yankee" was parking and didn't signal to the control tower that he hadn't finish his maneuver yet. Conclusion : control tower AND comet pilot fault. So in the future shut up and think, even if I know it is difficult for your big american mouthes.

[Srirachaa]

@stblclar And you know this how?

[defmax29]

runwayRAGE

[tornadofireworks]

When in doubt, blame the guy driving the bigger plane.

[matu06]

Identified the causes of the accident aircraft, Air France Airbus to hit another small plane on the runway Delta a Airport (JFK) in New York

youtube.com/watch?v=tW1w6eKhN-­0

[coyote7272]

I bet they had to sit on that plane for about 14 hours just getting shit sorted out

[raph604]

100% ATC fault... they must of been sleeping on the job.

[XXTHE12THMANXX]

@raph604 No i talked to my dad about this, he is a pilot for delta. He said that the ComAir flight stopped short of where he was supposed to be so he had the end of his tail sticking out like a sore thumb.

[UGottaCheckIt]

Are you all even thinking? This can be blamed on either pilot, but its 99 percent the ATC, air traffic controller, problem. That person is the director, pilots listen the ATC to take off and land and ride around. Blame is on ATC for this one.

[aleutian1]

@captainmorgan...I think you could state your case without being such a pompous prick.

[captainmorgan757]

@aleutian1 thank you for illustrating my point.

[captainmorgan757]

@smootsie007 Riddle me this. You must be a product of a public education with grammar and spelling such as yours. Now, that being said. Are you a pilot? Would you be able to converse intelligently on this topic or would you simply reply with only monosyllabic words of rant?

[NJAceSgt]

Air France: Don't let my big guns get in your way.

CRJ: Ok..

(.:crash:.)

Air France: Woops!

[NJAceSgt]

The ground ramper in the video at about 0:05 probably said "Oh gosh it's alive! RUN!". Lol.

[arshadgej]

OMG, defo a speeding ticket for the A380 and the ground crew truck was not following airside procedures.... regardless fault lies with the A380 pilots.

Seat belts always recommended even when stationery while taxiing to stand. ;)

[xhwillis7]

@smootsie007 haha john

[Benjamin2891]

Airbus looks to be moving too fast AND a pilot should be aware at ALL times of what is going on around them...doesn't matter if the other plane was in wrong place...the Air France pilots should have been aware and responded, specifically stopped.

[eddison72]

This is payback for Lance Armstrong bitches.

[CubsFanJohn]

Any word how the CRJ Crew is doing?

[scubawrestler]

The CRJ clearly had the right of way, it had been turned for parking and was being marshaled into the gate by the ramp agent. This does say one thing about the engineering of both air craft though, there appears to be only minimal damage to both. And the Aribus was cleared for departure after only 4 hours of inspection.

[wolf2351]

I blame from what i saw on the video, the truck that passed in front of the Com Air jet. The smaller plane had to stop for it and that is why this accident happened.

[mrguano7]

Delta got Owned.

[daisierose]

Passengers on the Comair must have shat their pants! Ouch! :-P

[asbakhtaoui]

French Pilots ...as usual !!!

[shmameltoe]

Lol that's not an air traffic controllers fault...there are a hundred things that could have gone wrong but not one involving the ground controller. Odds are this was a marshaller or pilot error.

[benbennit]

AirFrance pilots should really have seen that coming.

[Jem93rocks]

That thing is badass.

[Alridx]

What is that light that is approaching the delta, but when the plane gets hit it tries to get away and then goes right to left across the screen?

[mitsu92gto]

@Alridx Thats a ramp agent in a reflective vest. It moves left across the screen because he's saying "HOLY SHIT!!"

[MrRyang6790]

@mitsu92gto Man im a ramp agent at IAH and thats what I would've said too!!! LMAO!!!

[centellabmw]

you have to be very carefull with the ATC ground controllers in JFK

[kanistas]

HHHAHAHAHAHHASAAHSFAHSFHAHHHAH­AHAHAAHH!!!!!

[mitsu92gto]

@bayano75 Not true. There's very low viability in the planes. They rely on a ground coordinator through radio to direct them to the ramp.

[mitsu92gto]

@mitsu92gto Visibility** 

[bayano75]

@mitsu92gto I never wrote that comment...I just erased it.

[repli]

They have yelow lines on taxiways... a380 is big, some have to calculate wing span and expand treshold markers ... not AF crew fault.

[pumpkinmedic]

Ground control screwed the pooch. Beyond that, it looks like the AF pilot lost "situational awareness" in that he or she should have known the ComAir jet was under his foot-print.

[s0undActivist]

@pumpkinmedic

how is he supposed to know ? controlers gave a380 the authorization to move to the next point before take off, so a380 pilot did what he was told to do, he moved. pretty sure that when you're flying a jumbo jet you you surely have better things to do than check if your wing is not going to touch anything on your way to the take off area, whats the point of having ground controler then.

[senzaboat8x9]

Hey pumpkin,

You are wrong about that. My buddy flies big jumbo's and he is sitting right beside me. He says that that pilot was totally in the wrong. He was taxiing way too fast and it is his job to check clearances of the wing.

[MrStrikerlee]

Take that Delta Airlines! World's worst airline service in the world. haha

[MrStrikerlee]

Take that Delta Airplane! World's worst airline service in the world.  haha

[4everCinemaBizarre]

haha this is hilarous!!

[crillium]

comair just got pwned!

[welcometoGARYVILLE]

French always barging their way around o\ ___ /o

[Deltapilot96]

@welcometoGARYVILLE How do you know it was AF's fault? The Delta could be standing at the wrong place in the wrong time -.-

[welcometoGARYVILLE]

@Deltapilot96 yeh could've been - but then it would have made sense to stop...

[Deltapilot96]

@welcometoGARYVILLE Yeah, probably the captain/FO didn't realize how close they were to the Delta aircraft or they looked another way when passing it. We will just have to wait and see wether they can figure out what happened or not.

[gaz909909]

What a mess!

[GreenTigerCA]

Somebody is in T-R-O-U-B-L-E!!

Replacing the wing on that 380 is going to be MEGA EXPENSIVE!!!

[behinderteleberwurst]

@GreenTigerCA There is no way they're going to exchange the whole thing.

[GreenTigerCA]

@behinderteleberwurst We'll see. I mean would you want to fly on the largest, most advanced, super-jumbo passenger jet with a patch job on the wing? Probably not. And with such high engineering tolerances when being built, I'm sure they would settle for nothing less when repaired.

[UPTOWNALNYHC]

THAT SMALLER PLANE JUST LANDED FROM BOSTON.
