Is this fake, OcUK to the rescue...

Yes there were, and when the plane is taxiing, they should have the belts on until the pilot turns the seatbelt sign off.

Surely planes have sensors similar to car parking sensors
Why? It's not needed, they don't park close to objects like cars do, and there's a whole lot of surface to cover on an A380, you just have to accept things go smoothly if everyone listen and doesn't make mistakes like this
Fixed.

Well it's got to be powerful. Powerful enough to haul it's 500 ton body into the air, and fly faster than a speeding bullet!

Any word on whose fault this is?
Obviously JFK is rated (with regards to taxiway width etc.) to handle the A380. It's hard to think the A380 would have been taxiing off of the taxi line. So either the little plane was parked too far back? Or it's the tower's fault for letting both those planes be there at once?
Still, always temping to blame the French..

I was surprised by that too - it makes them look like model planes - I didn't think that larger stuff like planes could have those kind of accelerations resulting from collisions like that and not break! Suppose it shows how strong planes have to be to deal with all the flying stuff they do.

Exactly what I was thinking. The pilot(s) must have been subjected to some serious g-force!
