What a violent smash! Perhaps the A380 was on a high-speed taxiway?

Just saw another video of this on ABC News 24 (with a different logo to the one on YouTube showing) and it was at about half the speed of the one on YouTube.

Nevertheless, makes you remember that warning to keep seatbelts fastened until at the gate.

Do AF's 380's have tail cam - would have been interesting from that view!

"Tail Cam" doesn't allow pilots or passengers to see the wingtips.

To me it looked as if AF was about 4 metres to the right of the green taxi way lights

On the news today (unsure of which channel but I think 7) they compared it to the QF32 incident I just don't see how one could do that, they are nothing alike

I love how ten news gave the subtitles to the ATC transmission as "evacuate 3-2 taxiway mike" instead of "respond call 3-2 taxiway mike". Just throw in some scary words to make it seem worse

Default NTSB recommends wing tip cameras
I'm a bit surprised to see this formal recommendation from the NTSB - I'd have thought airport ground controllers could devise taxi routing and/or aircraft parking positions to avoid this kind of collision, but here it is in black and white:
