Not cool for either aircrew but this is going get messy!

EPIC FAIL / An Asiana Airlines Airbus A330-300 (HL7792) knocked down the tail of a Turkish Airlines A321 (TC-JMM) during taxi on taxiway Golf at Istanbul Airport. It seems the A321 was pushing back. No injuries reported. Flight #OZ552 to Seoul-Incheon was canceled.
