Default Runway incidents

none of these are *runway* incursions. LAX has had a few of
them including the semi-famous one where a Brasilia was told
to hold short and instead went into position and held. A
southwest (?) jet landed on top of the twin turboprop. These
are 'mere' taxi incidents.

While sitting on an American Airlines's 777 at Heathrow Nov. 6 waiting
in line to take off we felt and heard while stationary a big bump and
then another. A few minutes later the pilot came on the PA to announce
the plane was safe but a Turkish Airliner had hit our wing and tail and
we would have to return to the terminal. We eventually did that but
luckily were able to get another aircraft and leave only about 4 hours
late for Chicago. My question is: Is there a website the tracks/lists
those kind of events?



From Friday:

Flights were delayed yesterday following a collision between two passenger
planes at Nottingham East Midlands Airport (Nema).

An easyJet airplane clipped the wing of a parked Thomas Cook Airbus 320
aircraft as it manoeuvred at the airport, at about 8.40am.

The easyJet aircraft, which was leaving for Alicante, was carrying 110
passengers and six crew members but no one was injured.

Airport bosses say the aircraft was returned to its parking space and the
passengers left it.

No passengers were on board the Thomas Cook aircraft at the time. Damage was
caused to both aircraft, and passengers on the two flights were delayed.

A replacement easyJet aircraft flew into the Castle Donington airport later
that morning and the passengers left at 12.45pm.

Thomas Cook passengers, who had been due to leave for Lanzarote at 10.25am,
were put on a replacement aircraft that left at 1.30pm.

No other services were affected.

An airport spokesman said: "An immediate investigation has been launched by
Nema."
