Apparently ground crew at Minneapolis/St.Paul International Airport (MSP) was on the wrong taxi lines as he/she was directing this Airbus A330 (not an A320 as I had thought) to its gate. No one's perfect!

  • Hey, I was there when you collided. I was interviewed by the news crew, I told them what happened. And were you the one lady that was on the news explaining the whole thing? When this happened. It's so wierd, I was there when you collided and you taped it. Awsome, anyway 5/5 rating! :)

  • i'm the guy that said "that was pretty bad also." the "expensive mistake" commentary was from the lady sitting next to me, who apparently worked for northwest...

    cheers!

  • the A330's are holding hands

  • @5IrFaN5 ur dumb why do you think it is the pilots fault? The captain is trusting the ground crew to safely bring the aircraft into the gate

  • To the moron bellow me. This is a huge deal. It's indicative to risk taking mindset/culture. They got lucky this time...maybe not the next. If you worked in the industry you'll know this a reportable incident. Don't berate people if you know nothing about the subject!

  • Wow, this girl cries too much "This plane seems brand new" STFU accidents happen lady its not THAT big of deal. People who are newbs to flying need to shut up.

  • My friend was a ground person guiding a 747 from china to park and he gave the stop signal the plane kept rolling and took off a winglet. he said the pilot got off with a chinese off. and never came back.......

  • @MrBowie08 needless to say, the bosses weren't too happy!

  • this is an a330 only look the winglet and the other plane

  • @f00fy

    i guess you flew "in", because on means you are the pilot, right?

  • @f00fy

    it is a a330, the wings are too long for a a320 and the winglets are upwards, the a330 has a small arrow up and down.

    the safety card is likely to be a a320's because the emergency procedure is exactly the same, the difference is the a330 has more seats and doors.

  • Failed!!!

  • Could i just mention that the ground crew should only be used as a guide and the final decision is always with the Captain!

  • To airlines, a winglet isn't so costly, to us, it could break our bank.
