Just got a report of a minor collision on taxi way. Plane now being towed to gate 5 of Terminal one to de-board passengers. Sounds like it was outbound.
Anyone have any further?

Hearing that it was an Air France A-380 that struck a DL Connection aircraft while taxing, rumor A-380 severed tail off DL Connection !

Ouch....David and Goliath....this time sounds like Goliath won!
Apparently there was a CNN reporter on the plane. They don't have much but what was originally reported.
Now a Delta flight is coming in with steering problems. 22R. Not a good night for Delta..
