Thai 747 hits AF Embraer at MAD - no injuries !
Looks like a TG 747 rammed into a parked AF Embraer 135 at Madrid airport today, "cutting off" part of the fuselage of the AF plane.
There seems to be conflicting stories as why this happened. One report is that the TG 747 used the wrong taxiway and therefore rammed into the parked AF plane. Other stories claim the TG pilot was trying to get past a construction site on the regular taxiway, therefore causing the accident.
Accident investigators have been called in to determine the cause.

A picture of the damage can be found on spiegel.de (German news site):

Luckally no one was injured during the accident !
