Both planes have been grounded pending an investigation.

An Air France Airbus A380 has clipped the tail of a small commuter plane at New York's John F Kennedy Airport, in a minor accident that caused no injuries.
The smaller Comair jet could be seen spinning violently on its wheels as a shower of sparks fell from the impact point just after 2000 on Monday.

Wouldn't happen here...Don't big jets have to give way to small jets in Switzerland ?

Naw, they'd just fire them at each other along intersecting runways here

I'm surprised the French pilot didn't just shrug his shoulders and carry on.

Not sure they had any other choice than to be grounded!
