I was more basing it on the overall look and grammar. Sorry to infer that it was based on the other guy's suit... That was not my intent.

I'm gussing the B767 will be inspected at BOS and if deemed able to fly sans winglet will be ferried empty with just pilots to ATL for full repair. (Or if unable a new winglet could be shipped to BOS and installed there)
The CRJ didn't as fare well. I don't know if SkyWest/ASA has maint in BOS? If not it could be broken down (wings removed) and trucked to another facility.

RJ said "A55PORT FIRE RESCUE" on the top. (5 is S) The photographer didn't
realize it before posting it online? Should have zoomed out or changed angles so the
whole "MASSPORT FIRE RESCUE" could be shown.

Location on the field of the accident: http://www.boston.com/news/local/mas...ogan_accident/
Also, the CVR and FDR from both aircraft have apparently been pulled and sent to D.C.

Then a video with a BOS spokesperson said the 767 was taxiing on Bravo.
I've been pulling my hair out looking at pictures, runway maps and google maps to get a perspective on landmarks and will take a guess... probably to be proved wrong when airport camera video is released.
SWAG (you know what that means) ... the RG was holding a bit shorter than the hold short marking of 4L on Echo or Kilo adjacent to Bravo.
That would be very close to the southern end of the passenger terminal where 4 taxiways intersect in not a lot of space.
OK now I'm really confused... http://www1.whdh.com/news/articles/l...d-to-accident/ at 1:47 shows the 4L-APCH hold short markers. But the aircraft is facing the opposite way and off the steerlines it was on during daylight. Did they tow it there to clear the taxiway as that doesn't seem to jive with daylight pictures.

Yeah the newspapers here and even TV can't decide what they want to call the incident.
Yes they towed the RJ off the taxiway so some of the up close pictures are from where it was parked. Not sure which pic you're referring to with a bridge in the background. From the airport its only the masspike extension which is mostly underwater and only bridges are just overpass ramps at the airport entrance and can't be seen since that is all on the other side of Term-A. Google map has a decent aerial satellite view of the airport.

Yes, I've looked at the aerial view... I mistakenly had road and satellite hybrid not realizing the turnpike was a tunnel.
Looking at it again the bridge in the picture http://www.bostonherald.com/gallerie...ry_id=5530&p=0 would be the one labelled in Google Maps as both Long Island Rd. Moon Island Rd. and also Bridge to Recovery.
Which would mean nearly all the daylight pictures I've seen were taken from roughly the same vantage point. And I'll revise my guess to the intersection of taxiways Mike and Bravo as that would jive with everything I see in that one picture.

Oh yup I see it... yeah one of the short bridges to the little islands in the harbor area. Wonder when the results of the investigation will come out as to who was at fault.

Has there been any official report assigning fault for the incident at JFK with the AF A380 and the Delta connect RJ?

[NTSB] spokesman Peter Knudson said yesterday that the agency has already sent the flight data and cockpit voice recorders from Delta Flight 266 and Atlantic Southeast Flight 4904 to its labs in Washington.
It will take 10 business days before the agency issues a preliminary report, but it will take much longer before investigators identify the cause of the crash, Knudson said. Investigators will review recordings from the airport’s new ground radar system, interview crews from both aircraft and the air traffic controllers directing them, and inspect the planes to document what happened.

That was the first thing that went through my mind
Is it a major set back for Boeing as is claimed when an A 380 has clipped a baby jet?
Another reason getting upgraded or travelling in F on a small plane.
