Dream Liner vs Fire Engine at Tampa

[markis10]

The execution, however, was definitely lacking when a Japan Airlines Boeing 787 Dreamliner taxied toward the Tampa International Airport terminal on Thursday evening.
Two airport fire trucks were stationed on each side of the plane. Firefighters used cannons to shoot water into the air, creating a liquid archway that the aircraft taxied through. It's a ceremony TIA and other airports use to honor special airplanes and special occasions.
This time, however, the result was not so honorable: The plane's right wing tip smacked one of the water cannons.

Ouch. Will be interesting to see who ends up paying for this.

Especially the part when the reporter points to an empty hanger to say that is where the plane was before it was moved to another part of the airport.
