    WNBC-4 News just showed a video of the incident - not sure if it was from a security camera, or a lucky photographer. The CRJ was stopped, facing the camera, and the A380 taxied behind it from right to left. Left wing of the A380 hit the tail of the CRJ, spinning the aircraft nearly 90 degrees. Video isn't on their web site yet.

    Gonna be some "whiplash" suits from passengers on that Comair plane I would venture to guess. Can only imagine what they experienced. Crazy!
