You probably should have skipped that last screwdriver and had a sandwich instead if you're going to drive around the tarmac like a lunatic.

Wonderful. I'm flying Delta next week. And of course, going through Atlanta.

I'm not sure people know this, but on a widebody airliner you cannot see your wingtips from the cockpit.

It is never wise to assume some other airplane will not stop, but if you do assume that and keep moving this can happen.

Never, ever a good idea to stop at a taxiway intersection.

Always pull away from the intersection, and then stop.

 

Free widebody taxiing advice to stick in your quiver.

Where you gonna get that 'cept here?

Security video of it...

 

Watch the moment a wingtip of a Delta Airlines Airbus A350 strikes the tail of an Endeavor Air CRJ-900 and takes it clean off at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. : r/aviation (reddit.com)

The timing of the end of that video is kinda funny. It looks like the Southwest plane comes to a screeching halt says WTF.
