Amazing - change the colour of the tail and it is a front page news story. I have only seen one mention of it so far:

SYDNEY - A UNITED Airlines flight bound for San Francisco was forced to turn back to Sydney within two hours of departure on Friday after the jumbo jet reportedly clipped its tail during takeoff.
A United spokeswoman confirmed that the Boeing B747-400 had returned to Sydney for maintenance checks but would not confirm the media reports about the tail incident.
'I can confirm that UA870 departed from Sydney at 2.45 pm for San Francisco today and has returned to Sydney Airport for maintenance checks,' she told AFP. 'It landed without incident at 4.20 pm.'
