How dare those pilots get involved in a crash that delays passengers from getting to see Grandma! Typical crappy AC customer service!

Who do they have to report this ground collision to?

must be short reserve pilots out of YVR, to delay from 7am to 3pm probably means their bringing in crew from YYZ or YUL

Did the cabbie's dash cam only have a 30 minute recording cycle? Was it taped over?

Stuff happens. Car accident, or maybe a pilot just wakes up with a migraine and can't work. Major international airlines should have reserve pilots at their hubs.

With only 10 767's left in the mainline fleet I doubt they have any 767 pilots in Vancouver.

What, they hit another plane while taxiing *again*?

... oh, different type of taxi accident.

I drove past this accident site about 6:10 a.m. in a taxi on the way to YVR. We avoided Granville north of 16th, and turned onto Granville from 16th. It was an ugly scene.

Hope nobody is seriously hurt.

Can't believe he drove without GPS instructions on at the time. Who does he think he is?! Every good driver knows to program their GPS settings accordingly because you know, just in case.

Do you have your GPS turned on while navigating from your armchair?
