The RJ was actually going in to its stand, but was holding to wait for a marshaller or ground crew :)

Some people are reckoning that the footage was sped up by the media.

Hi Mark

I was avin a look at that too, But if looking at the ground crew in the foreground on bottom right
The speed of their movement looks normal. :dunno: It appears they have a sense of what's going to happen and are trying to get the attention of the rj pilot. Then make a mad dash to get away when the collision is imminent.

Ofcourse one way to test it would be to see if we could get any of our 380 spotters here to time the strobe flash on the wing tip. :agree:

I think the video is normal just by looking at the magnitude the RJ displacment. That had to be one hell of a wack
