    LH 744 and CO 757 collide at EWR

    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).

    Which taxiway were they using for arrivals?

    aircraft under tow have the right of way, don't they?
    Why does Boeing start with a "B"? Because it's Better than Airbus.

    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.
