Based on current record, if anyone was going to do something injurious to a 380 on the ground (other than an airbus crew leaving a toolbox in the avionics bay) it will be QF. Also, if it was Air India and PIA, rather than SQ and QF, being the first in service, I would be far more impressed with the A/C's resilience.
