Well, if you park in the wrong spot...

At first glance, they look very similar to a Qantas tail.

I'm not sure of your point: similar before or after the chop?

Shirley he didn't hate Qantas inflight service so much that he sought revenge against an airframe?

Oh the humanity, all those poor passengers worried about the tail about to explode from all the fuel in it...........as fireman rushed to cool it.   

 

Great reporting yet again. As for the incident, dumb parking and even dumber taxiing from the A330.

Well the APU in the tail must be getting fuel from somewhere! Perhaps that why it was being spayed?

 

So maybe they aren't so dumb?

The apu is a long way below that point.
