Just caught the video on the news of a 380 wing tip slapping the tail of a regional while taxiing. Haven't found a vid to post yet but it is impressive.

You can catch it here http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/video/planes-collide-yorks-jfk-airport-13360463


Edit after the quarter dropped. OK OK I know when I'm licked. I will never again post a news story, I'd have a better chance of winning the lottery than being the first. I can't beat hundreds of active posters, some of which I suspect sleep with their computers (or don't sleep) ;)

The BEA wanted to keep secret the identity of the pilot, but finally the truth surfaced :

35052

35053

I resent that remark! I've never slept with my computer....may have fooled around with a few and have lusted after a few notebooks....but never slept with one.

:p

Let me clarify this:

1. Just like KD, I don't sleep with my puter.
2. Local time here was 7:21 PM when I posted the video, so just about dinner time (which actually began 10 mins later)!
3. I do sleep. :sleep: At least until my cats start their "wake up, dude!" terror.

Cheers,
Markus.

I do hope no one thinks too badly of me, but truth to tell, I have slept with my laptop... :redf:

Every night I spend at least a few relaxing hours reading novels on my laptop. More than once I've put the laptop to "sleep," closed the cover and...

...awakened in the morning to discover that my pillow was quite hard!

Seems I'd drifted off to sleep before moving the laptop off the bed. :isadizzy:

Confessions are good for the soul. But before anybody really gets the urge, I meant just sleep :o
