It's no 11-ft 8-in bridge, but it's still entertaining.

 

[Gone crazy back soon]

He got some tail (section) that night.

 

[igotyour40acres]

You'd be surprised what's allowed these days...

 

[Dark_Voyeur]

Yeah he's about to be in unemployment.

 

[Ripcord97]

Not his fault. Union member.

If it were a car driver and not a pilot in an airplane, the one reversing would be at fault wouldn't they be?

That depends upon the location. If backing out of a driveway onto a secondary street, the driver reversing out has the right of way in most U.S. cities. As such in this case here, that was a fuck up of gigantic proportions, costing millions of dollars, including an automatic termination and then some. Hitting any aircraft is as huge a no-no as you can get with vehicles. In the U.S., any such accident involves an investigation by the FAA or federal government. If the truck driver was under the influence of anything, and they would do blood work as soon as possible to find out, that's a "Go directly to jail!" offense, as well. Besides, such aircraft do not have reverse and get pushed out to clear the ramp for takeoffs by a tug or pushback tractor with a push bar. I believe both aircraft, the one damaged above and this one below are commercial 757's, worth anywhere from $1.5M to $10M USD. Just one Pratt & Whitney/Rolls-Royce engine for the 757 alone is between $4.5M and $5M USD.

If I was on that flight, I'd be arrested too...

I get why he'd got go jail if he were DUI, it'd be the same even if not federal jurisdiction.
