Sorry for that nerdy touch, but OWNED! How can you not see a 777? :D

A visitor from Italy posted Sat May 8, 2010:

A visitor from - posted Mon March 15, 2010:

Chinese Kung Fu !!!

A visitor from - posted Wed October 14, 2009:
The 777 looks untouched. the a320 is leaning to the left and the tail is about to fall off.

A visitor from - posted Sun October 11, 2009:
The force of the Triple 7 was strong, look how the main gear of the A320 tilted.

A visitor from China posted Wed October 7, 2009:
It's expensive to repire...

B777 is a giant. Don't mess with him, A320 :) Bad Boys Live!

A visitor from United States posted Fri June 27, 2008:
It's almost like the Asiana vs Aeroflot accident in Anchorage, except this time China Southern didn't leave Airbus a winglet for souvenir.

A visitor from United States posted Mon June 23, 2008:
One A320 Vertical stab + labour ($5000000.00), the look on the guys's face who's responsible, (Priceless).

A visitor from Turkey posted Fri July 13, 2007:

What a shame.

A visitor from China posted Mon September 4, 2006:
Good news.

A visitor from United States posted Thu August 31, 2006:
Great shot. The gear see larger forces on slow speed taxi manoeuvers. I'd be concerned with the composite tail and wing parts. big $$

A visitor from France posted Wed August 30, 2006:
I'd like to be here when the pushback guy gets the bill from china eastern and southern ...
How much $ for an A320 landing gear ?

A visitor from Taiwan posted Wed August 30, 2006:
Classic Airbus vs Boeing, this time going a bit too extreme.

A visitor from United States posted Wed August 30, 2006:
That has to hurt. Repairs there are going to be expensive and yes, someone is gonna get fired.

A visitor from Greece posted Tue August 29, 2006:
I guess the next time he is going to be more carefull!!!
If there is one other time!!!

A visitor from China posted Tue August 29, 2006:
Excellent

A visitor from Uruguay posted Tue August 29, 2006:
Thats definately stress on the gear, check the taxi line, it isnt distorted, if it was a wide angle shot that line wouldnt look straight.

A visitor from China posted Tue August 29, 2006:
Something wrong with ATC or Push-back driver
what a mass in PEK

A visitor from Singapore posted Tue August 29, 2006:
What's with the ground crew? It's hard to miss a 777 on the taxiway.

A visitor from Austria posted Mon August 28, 2006:
I like how you can see the apu

A visitor from United States posted Mon August 28, 2006:
Someone is getting fired...

A visitor from United States posted Mon August 28, 2006:
To quote Richard Hammond on Top Gear..."Oof! That sounded expensive!"

notice the tilt of the inside right main wheel.....transfere of energy from the moving 777.....

A visitor from United States posted Mon August 28, 2006:
I'm pretty sure the landing gear is fine, just seems to me that it is a wide angle shot.

A visitor from United States posted Mon August 28, 2006:
That guy is EXTREMELY fired.

A visitor from Australia posted Mon August 28, 2006:
Woops! Costly mistake. Check out the right landing gear, looks like its under some strain!
