You can't park there! Boeing 737 Max dramatically collides with two other jets as hapless airport ground staff misjudge space on the tarmac
A Boeing 737 Max clipped the wings of two other jets as it parked at the Toronto Pearson Airport. Video of the collision shows the Air Canada jet approaching what ground crew had taken to be a parking sport in between two other planes. But the space was not big enough for the plane's wings, and they collided with the stationary aircraft. The clip was shared on social media by the Breaking Aviation News & Videos account.

One other salient point- at most airports, the airport authority dictates where you will remote park a plane, it isn't just a ramper pulling a plane around until they find a spot they like. So obviously, for this plane to strike 2 other ,already parked planes, would suggest ramp control screwed up when they assigned that parking spot.
"terrifying incident"??, who writes this dreck.
Both planes said they were sorry...
THIS is why you are supposed to have two wing walkers. I trained rampers for over 20 years. If you don't have two walkers, you don't park it until you do. Hard no.
I cannot believe they didn't have two ground marshals, one on each wing, to spot for the driver.
Looks like an Air Canada plane collided with two other Air Canada planes.
