Look at the picture in the story.

I'm confused.....the article says:

A significant portion of the Scandinavian Airlines plane's left wing was torn off

But the wing looks pretty much intact in that photo. The leading edge is continuous and the winglet and sidelight is still there.

Unless I am missing something in that photo, it looks like the Express Jet got the worst of it (right horizontal stab is bent up).

You must be looking at a different photo than I.

Looks to me that half of the left SAS wing is gone

Only one of the planes involved appear in the picture. SAS A330 is missing a portion of its left wing. The guy in the background IS NOT involved.

This is the picture I get in the article.

That is what I am seeing....even the shadow looks like a normal, completely intact wing.

That wing is all there. You can clearly see the blue winglet and nav light on the end. This was probably some blow hard attempt to use a stock photo to support the story.

It's an illusion, Bill. It is all there.

Ok that photo does show damage, the winglet is bent out

Okay so we are looking at the same picture, I think Bill was just confused by the angle of the camera and the dihedral of the wing?

I believe so. Yes.

I don't think you can tell from that picture. The airbus wing tips cant out quite a bit anyway.
