Anyone catch the "nice job, sir" comment? Obviously it was made before they seen that the two planes had hit.

One woman was taken to a Boston hospital after complaining of neck pain, airport spokesman Phil Orlandella said.
Of the 292 total pax/crew involved between both aircraft, I guess 1 saw one of the those personal injury commercials on TV that morning.

This is why I like to use airports with scenery. Navigating around a populated airport takes practice. next time you fly, take a look at all the crap out there on the tarmac. With great big wings sticking out of your airplane it is really not hard to clip something. I once had to pay to replace the leading edge and aileron on a 152 aerobat after I clipped a reflective sign on a private field. I was so busy dodging potholes that I didn;t see that 6' tall sign on the edge of the taxiway. That cost $600 (in 1985 dollars.)
