didn't a UAL 777 in IAD collide with an LH 747 like in 2000?
if i am correct, the 777 was taxiing upon arrival from i beleive either LAX or SFO, and then the LH 747 was pushing back... but i am not sure what year or if the LH was a 747 or an A340.. its funny that another UAL 777 has the same incident again

So the airlines "merged?"
New airline to be called Un-Jam........

Direct KNOBS, maintain 2700' until established on the localizer, cleared ILS runway 26 left approach.

Head ups Guys-
Please stop posting on the topic "COLLISION"! Collision means two planes were crashing too hard! Next time, use "clipping wings or scrap aircraft" Alright?

I can tell you...
Air Jamaica flight number was JM002 bound for MBJ and KIN. A/C Reg 9Y-JMP.
The fully loaded A/C pushed back from stand 314 at 13.38L and headed towards runway 27L for take-off. At approx 14.05 the a/c was clipped on the wing and returned to Stand 338 Where a further investigation and analysis of the damage was carried out.

How 'bout "Two aircraft nearly miss on the ground"..
Caution wake turbulence, you are following a heavy jet.

Well they didn't nearly miss, they hit each other! It sounds minor so looks like the 777 sweat another write-off bullet.
They did nearly miss because they did hit each other.
If you crash your car into a tree you could say you nearly missed it, but that would still mean you hit it. If you nearly hit it then you would have missed it.
From a passengers point of view it must be interesting to see your aircrafts wing get clipped if you have a window seat!

That's some pretty backwards english if you ask me. If I'm driving in a car, to use your example, and I have a near miss... I have narrowly avoided an accident. A near miss is often used as a figure of speach for a near collision.

DfwRevolution,
His English is correct and in the proper manner.
I'm glad all is well but sad to see the 777 take a beating. I hope it wasn't the new colors. But I highly doubt it seeing how I just saw the a/c parked on the East Side of Runway 28R where UA maintains/parks a/c mostly 777's and 747's. Great looking a/c and a real eye pleaser when parked with all the other dark gray a/c.

27 WesternDC1010: Any word on the UA 777-222 a/c number that was involved? - Ron Western DC-10-10
28 Voodoo: Sounds like a repeat of a year or two ago at LHR. UAL 777 hits Air Canada 747. 777 came off worse. Gossamer wings.
29 BA380: Let's assume the nearly-miss/collision/touching/whatever had been a little harder and had put both a/c out of service for 2 weeks.... presumably, UAL
31 Ushermittwoch: Does this prove that the A340 (thus a four holer) is safer than the T7? Anyway, maybe United should put some of its pilots into a simulator a bit long
32 ZKSUJ: How did it happen? Were the aircraft off the taxi centrelines or something?

36 Crewrest: The ATIS @ LHR always signs off with: 'Caution in the runway holding areas as wingtip clearance is not assured'
37 GBOAF: The funny thing is, up until March, United used to provide all ground handling for Air Jamaica at LHR, before JM moved to another ground handling comp
38 Arsenal@LHR: These things can happen, you have to remember the likes of 777's and A340 have massive wingspans, errors can be made steering something that big.

43 Qqflyboy: A "near miss" is short for "near mishap." It does not mean miss, as in to miss hitting something.
