Parked Qatar Airways planes collide at airport during wild storm

A wild storm in Qatar has seen two Qatar Airways planes damaged after one broke loose and rolled into the other. The incident at Hamad International Airport was caught on video and posted on social media. The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner can be seen being buffeted by strong winds before eventually breaking loose and turning to its left, before it rolls forward into the adjacent Airbus A350-900. The 787-8 has a list price of about $US250m, while the Airbus' list price is about $US315m. According to a statement by the airline, the two planes suffered only minor damage. "During extreme weather conditions, with storms and high winds of 70 knots, a parked Qatar Airways 787-800 (sic) briefly shifted from its chocks and made contact with a QR A350-900. The aircraft had been parked securely and chocked in accordance with AMM (aircraft maintenance manual) guidelines while operations at the airport had been temporarily suspended due to the high winds. No passengers or crew were on board at the time and the aircraft suffered only minor damage."<br/>
