@SKBenergy ! Great *SPOTTING!* the wing man marshal didn't do his job stopping the plane! LOOK at 01:33 he should have put up STOP signal to front marshal instead of running away in fear! At 01:33 you can see him starting to RUN AWAY!

Damnnn that’s wild!!! Never seen something like that either! Someone failed in their duty to ensure safe clearance was given…

yep, its all patched up now, it left and then came back for the passengers

[@cameronmd80]

I know the 757 was directly in front of you so mad respect for shifting your attention back to the A330. The only piece of the puzzle missing is the marshaller's reaction.

[@SKBenergy]

lol you know wha time it was

[@Southwest_923WR]

There was no 757 in this video, are you referring to the Eastern Airlines 767?

[@cameronmd80]

@@Southwest_923WR ​ If you were keeping up with the other videos that he posted, youll know that there were several charters that day. This incident happened while the 757 charter was getting ready to depart. But it was always to the right of his frame which is why you never see it in this vid

Brilliant video and on-the-spot journalism!!!

[@SKBenergy]

Thanks :) !!

[@joshsmall22]

Marshallers are the eyes on the ground for the pilots. Could have been avoided and they seemed to have wing walkers as well. And St kitts in 2022 does not have any push back equipment so mostlikely the pole has to be removed from its place instead of the plane being pushed back from it.

[@cliby25]

it's already removed

[@mayi757]

No pushbacks? Why not

[@SDK-im8sl]

@@mayi757 It's expensive to maintain pushback equipment and trained personnel. If there's enough room on the apron, many smaller airports simply rely on power-in/power-out maneuvering, However, if necessary for a disabled airplane, a tow bar and crew can be flown in and attached to a strong and heavy enough motorized vehicle, such as a construction loader.

No

you know if FAA also got involved? Being a US airline an all

[@JulietECHOCR]

Nice video 😧

[@MaxiAir]

Nice video! Its an A330-243 though, not a -223 as mentioned in the opening sequence. If you referred to FR24 they got that one wrong, including the MSN and other data. Cheers

[@SKBenergy]

so why flightradar24 has wrong information ?

[@MaxiAir]

@@SKBenergy - simple. National was supposed to take a different airframe in the first place, but did not accept that one. Its still stored in Lourdes (southern France) with National colours. The information on FR24 is for that aircraft, not the one they actually operate. You can see it has Rolls-Royce engines so the code is A330-243 - The other one had Pratt&Whitney engines. Cheers

[@SKBenergy]

@@MaxiAir wow this is something only if i looked it up would taken notice...thanks

[@Captain_Gojira]

well that's a first😮

[@wakey1086]

Marshallers by applying marshalling hand signals they can avoid problems without any faults. So how did this incident happen if the pilot is following the ground marshall??

[@SKBenergy]

miscalculation and misjudgment

[@irish00011]

Well, it is obvious the flight deck personnel, at the controls, were not aware of how close the moving aircraft's left wing tip is, in relationship to the static light pole. The exterior damage to the wingtip appears to be marginally minor. More than likely if the part of the aluminum skin with the ding on it can be repaired on scene.

[@ysfsim]

ground crew would be responsible.

[@irish00011]

@@ysfsim: I didn't even want to approach the subject of who is, or might be responsible. That is the responsibility of the investigators.

[@SKBenergy]

lol

[@sintjagolwicianolwindomar6911]

Yes

[@SKBenergy]

yes.... for what ?

[@mhtaviationofficial]

No wing walker = mistakes. This aircraft originated from PSM, and it actually arrived at PSM today, and we all heard about this. Funny to see this flight come back to our airport. No matter what, the lack of Wing walkers contributed to this incident. We always have a wing walker if we are going to park planes close to the edge of the ramp or to other aircraft in order to prevent this sort of situation.

[@SKBenergy]

They actually had wing walkers, i dont think the one infront the plane is visible

[@MonaLisa.mp4]

KPSM?

[@mhtaviationofficial]

@@MonaLisa.mp4 yes, PSM

[@mhtaviationofficial]

@@SKBenergy if this was the case, the wing walker should have immediately stopped the operation due to the fact that the plane was about to hit the light pole. They should have radios on them and immediately inform whoever is marshaling them to stop them so as to not cause the issue we saw in the video
