From VS Source:

Virgin Atlantic A340-600 G-VBUG New York JFK Wing Tip Clip.
September 19, 2015
Virgin Atlantic A340-600 G-VBUG overnighted at New York JFK after arriving as VS25 from London Heathrow yesterday, however this morning’s scheduled return to London Heathrow as VS26 was cancelled after the aircraft suffered minor damage when the eight wing tip clipped a blast fence when being pushed back.

Expensive shortcut.

Do they have wing walkers giving the comment "that the area is tight"?
