Below is audio of the conversation between Air France Flight 7, Comair/Delta Connection Flight 6293 and the JFK Airport control tower, before and immediately after the left wing of the Airbus A380 superjumbo clipped the relatively tiny Bombardier CRJ-700, spinning it nearly 90 degrees.
Thanks to LiveATC.net for the audio!
It was not immediately apparent if either plane had incorrectly followed the control tower’s instructions or if a controller had misdirected one of the planes to move when or where it should not have. The FAA and NTSB will investigate.
