A380 atinge CRJ em NY

Pessoal,

Foi no aeroporto John Kennedy (o JFK) em New York City. Ninguém se machucou, mas deve ter assustado o pessoal do CRJ-700 da Comair (Delta). Veja o vídeo para ter idéia. O A380 era o F-HPJD. 

Um Airbus A380 da Air France colidiu, nesta segunda-feira (11), com uma aeronave menor de uma companhia aérea regional operada pela Delta Air Lines, quando realizava a manobra de decolagem no aeroporto internacional John F. Kennedy, em Nova York. O acidente não deixou feridos, e aconteceu quando o A380, com destino a Paris e capacidade para transportar mais de 500 passageiros, chocou sua asa esquerda contra a cauda de outro avião quando estava a ponto de realizar a manobra de decolagem. As autoridades federais da aviação americana investigam o incidente, que envolveu um avião da Comair, uma empresa aérea regional que opera voos da Delta Air Lines. A aeronave procedia de Boston (Massachusetts) e no momento do acidente se dirigia a um portão de desembarque.

Air France Flight 7 F-HPJD bound for Paris, was taxiing on a runway when its left wingtip struck the tail of Comair Flight 6293, which had just landed from Boston and was taxiing to its gate at Kennedy, one of the nation's busiest airports, Peters said. Both jets were being towed to a ramp area for inspection, Peters said. The extent of the damage was unknown. The FAA didn't immediately say how many people were on the double-deck Airbus A380, which can carry 525 passengers in a three-class configuration or more than 850 in a single-class configuration. Air France didn't immediately return a telephone message seeking comment. The Comair CRJ 700 Regional Jet was carrying 62 passengers and four crew members, said Betsy Talton, a spokeswoman of Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines Inc., for which Comair operates regional flights. All the passengers were taken off the plane and into a terminal, she said.
