I was hoping the video would be better than that.

What I'm trying to work out is whether the A340 was just a little 'left' in it's lane, and thus clipped the back as it passed by, or as the pax suggested, perhaps the A340 turned a little too soon, and clipped them on the corner?

Either way, considering the amount of things AF hit, another airline was bound to hit them back at some point!

Seriously, whats wrong with AF, it seems like they have a far higher chance of been involved in an incident on their planes than most others.

I wonder if they would be included on the euro no fly list if they won't a european airline?

Edit: yes I did read the article, and I know it's AR's fault, but still it counts as an incident which AF are involved in.

I guess the AF aircraft could have also not been properly parked (sticking out a little at the back), as a reason for the collision.

From the photo it appears AR is on the line on the tarmac, but Google shows there are 3 lines, so perhaps it took the wrong one.
