Heathrow Collision (ground)
Posted: 16 Oct 2007, 00:43Two planes "clipped" each other, followed by "no damage"...?
HMMM.... Would YOU have wanted to be onboard either plane when they announced "we're going ahead"? [:?]

Posted: 16 Oct 2007, 09:03Well I hope they stopped and exchanged insurance details. Little bit of polish and it will buff out.
Posted: 16 Oct 2007, 09:54I wonder if it occurred at that the final area of taxiing, before turning on to the runway, where there are often two lines of planes adjacent to each other?..
I seem to remember Mike-smashing telling me collisions had occurred there previously..

Posted: 16 Oct 2007, 11:11Interesting version control, BBC... [n]
Last night, it claimed "no damage", this morning, the SAME page now reads entirely differently. BAD bad bad... (Should show "updates" as well as what they claimed in the first place.)

Posted: 17 Oct 2007, 00:02The local news just announced that there was a previous accident at Heathrow in July when 2 BA planes collided with each other on the runway !
Don't remember that, but I was away for a large part of July.

Yes, I am all for developing news, but the bloody item should be marked UPDATED with the flavour of the updates ("Story updated to reflect new damage assessment" for example). Fecking MSM...

The stories in newspapers frequently change overnight when news breaks and you end up with 2 or more editions on the same day with a slight variation of the story, but ive never seen them make reference to the previous one..... just a thought
