It seems they got the flight number wrong -- BA265 inbound. Anyone have additional info?

:confused: What was a jet bridge doing out on the runway? :confused:

I did a quick read of the article from the link. Apparently, the plane struck the jetway "after landing". I presume the plane landed safely, and was taxiing into a gate position and then struck a jetway approaching the dock position at the gate.

That's peculiar.
