An Air Canada Airbus jet clipped the tail wing of an Air Canada Jazz regional carrier on the runway at Vancouver International Airport Thursday afternoon.
Stephen Budisa, one of the passengers on the Hong Kong-bound flight, contacted CBC News after the incident happened shortly after 2 p.m.
"We were on the runway, taxiing to take off, and what happened there was a crunching noise from the airplane," Budisa told CBC News in a telephone interview.
Tail Wing?
It's called a vertical stabilizer.
OOPS: Horizontal stabilizer... shit.

ATTENTION WHORE
Those Jazz planes are Dash 8s - I wouldn't want to be in one of those with an Airbus close enough to clip it.
They're not just Dash 8's. Jazz also uses two sizes of CRJ's as well.

The article says it was a Dash 8.
