Yikes. Bull in a china shop or what!
I'm a little surprised it spun the CRJ rather than ripping the tail off. I guess us Canucks build 'em strong!

They ran that clip on the news last night. With the impact at the tail the entire plane acts like a giant lever so the torque at the pivot will be very large. wonder who will be at fault?

You'd be surprised how strong that tail is!
Who is at fault? The moving aircraft - period!

FBJ, even if the other plane was in the wrong spot? Can you really see/judge where your wingtips are on a plane that large?

Doesn't matter - it's like driving and hitting a parked car. The Comair aircraft was clearly in the ramp area. If the size of the aircraft was in question then it will roll back to crew training.

Correct all around. I'm sure both crews were making pretty immediate "deposits" into plastic cups!

Man, talk about not paying attention. 
Imagine how much the folks in craft that got hit were thrown around if they weren't buckled in. That was a stout jolt.
