Guys, i scroll through this picture, and those comments..

 

Actually, whose fault was this ?? The pushback truck driver or ATC that give clearance or 777's pilots ??

What's the story with this?

Its has been discussed before Naim, check-out that thread. I forgot which one..

 

According to TK, during rotation, a sudden gust coming in and blow our plane. It was in micro-seconds, too fast for pilots to response..the result, boomm, tail strike...!!

 

After about 45 minutes dumping fuel over ZRH, that plane landed back safely with a batalion of fire trucks waiting..

Would've been the pushback truck or generally ppl on the ground? They should, technically, have a better/clearer lookout on what's happening on the tarmac.

First question: who hit who? Looks like the taxiing (?) Boeing hits the tail of the Airbus.

 

One major ground rule: Aircraft taxiing under its own power always have the right of way before aircraft under tow or pushback.

Good point, Radzi. Had a look at the pic again, and it seems like the Bus was pushed back whilst the Boeing was taxiing and bANG!!

Seems like the B777 was taxiing on its own while the Airbus was pushing pack

So it was the Airbus's baby fault looking at the picture..

Well this is just my guess

not neccesarily, you never know if the t7 was taxiing where it shouldnt be? we dont know.

 

 

btw, the topic is kind of misleading with the word 'tragic'

Whether the 777 was taxiing on the wrong taxiway or not . Ground shouldn't have issued pushback clearance until the 777 was clear .

 

On the other hand , Push back truck driver blind ah ?

Maybe his shift was coming to an end? Too tired to be aware of the situation at that time, maybe.

well, dumping fuel over Germany (black forest) to be exact... very unfortunate for MAS that this pic made it to the front page of the local papers, and the kid was interviewed on prime time news. After that, I hear a lot of people saying that they prefer to fly SQ instead of MH because of this tail strike... uh, hello, wasn't there an incident in New Zealand with SQ???

 

 

Romeo Juliet was then stuck in ZRH for about 2 months for repairs...

if this is car reverse and bang, i have nothing to say.... but if airplane taxiing and pushback... zzzz

Then, people will flying on MH instead of SQ to NZ..

Maybe China Eastern and China Southern don't like each other and they wanna take things to another level.

Yes, Your Rite Azman..

SQ 747 Tailstrike in AKL..

Some of these People Don't Think when Talk and Also they Don't exactly know the reason of the Accident and Then Start to Make Some Bullshit up..
