Default V Australia Los Angeles accident

Read on the Aviation Herald web site that on 15 October 2010 V Australia VH-VPD performing flight VA-8 from Los Angeles to Brisbane,was being pushed back, under tow, to the gate when the left wing contacted a hanger.
FAA said that the aircraft received substantial damage.
Passengers are stranded and could take 10 days to arrive back in Australia.
