UPS DC8 at IAD
Anyone know what happened to the DC8 this morning at IAD? The weather was very foggy (RVR 1400v2000). We were taxiing out on Z and he was getting towed on taxiway Y. Looked like he may have tried to turn early, but stopped just in time. Maybe too tight to taxi out of the jam. I hope everyone's OK.

It seems that the ground guys get along much better between companies than we do. That's too bad as I always try to remember that flying is a "cooperate and graduate" environment. FedEx probably had an old DC-8 tow bar hanging around from the days of the Tiger
