Default Runway 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?

Was sitting in the terminal in Manilla when a Phillipines Airlines plane
touched the Qantas plane we were to fly out on. Minor contact - we left
after the engineers had established that no damage was done!!

I don't know. Have you tried searching on Google? I would try, but I am
in a hurry to leave right now.

The answer is no. Do you see an opportunity here?

Here's one:

Search for "incidents," not accidents, and you'll probably run into
many.

The OP's event doesn't appears there.
However, the US Airways incident that appears there is interesting.
Apparently they neglected to put down the landing gear before attempting
to land.

From Friday:
http://www.thisisleicestershire.co.u...lderPk=7 7465

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."

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.

It was a (WingsWest??) Metroliner, not a Brasilia, and the plane that landed
on it was a US Airways 737-300 enroute from IND.

And to go further into it, the metroliner was told to go into
position and hold at an intersection. the USA 737 was told to land, and
didn't controller didn't realise he still had the departure in
position. Result of that was an order by the FAA to no longer have
departures in position and holding on the runway at night.
