Incident
An Airbus was taxiing east via Taxiway B toward runway 28L for departure when it struck a stationary Bombardier. The Bombardier had landed earlier, taxied to the gate area, and was stopped on the ramp located north of Taxiway B, waiting to be marshaled to its parking spot. The Bombardier was oriented on a northerly heading, perpendicular to Taxiway B, with its tail facing the taxiway.
Actions Prior to Collision
The captain and augmenting captain of the Airbus visually checked the clearance between their left wingtip and the tail of the Bombardier. They determined that there was adequate clearance for the Airbus to pass behind the Bombardier.
Collision
As the Airbus passed behind the Bombardier, the left wingtip of the Airbus struck the tail of the Bombardier. The impact occurred despite the flight crew's assessment of sufficient clearance.
Damage
The left winglet of the Airbus was scraped, bent, and cracked. On the Bombardier, the vertical stabilizer, horizontal stabilizer, both elevators, and the rudder sustained structural damage.
