What it sounds like is that the 47 was taxiing and struck the 757 being pushed? Newark is having all sorts of ground trouble lately

Ok .....Thats all cnn said when i came up with the post, It had just happened, for all i no when i typed this is that some could have been dead. So dont bust me there.


I wouldnt doubt one bit these guys were lined up, and had a gust hit them and push them over and they decided to drop it at the last minute instead of going around.
