LH 744 and CO 757 collide at EWR

[NcSchu]

According to several posts on A.net along with an FAA bulletin, a taxiing Lufthansa 747-400 chopped the winglet off of a Continental 757 being towed from the CO hangar. I'm not sure what the status is of the LH jet, but I'd assume there is some damage to it. I can't find a news link yet either. The FAA does report
Due to OTHER/ACFT INCIDENT, there is a Traffic Management Program in effect for traffic arriving Newark International Airport, Newark, NJ (EWR).

Priceless :)

It happened around the same hour that that CO 757 from MCO landed on the taxiway. Next time when I'm at EWR I'll stick till 6:30pm :)

LH, reg V V, is still stranded by the United hanger. Damage on the port side.
Today the LH Star Alliance was doing the schedule service, odd to see 2 744 Luftys at EWR.
