I was watching as our plane's winglet clipped the horiz stabilizer of the plane next to us during pushback, at Newark last year. I was watching incredulously knowing that they weren't going to clear it. I have video of them pulling the planes back apart again.
It was quite the inconvenience.

Aren't you able to talk to them during push back? Could you have stopped it with brakes?
