The European airplane maker Airbus was left red in the face this weekend, when on on-ground accident forced it to withdraw an A380 superjumbo from the Paris Air Show.

The enormous plane--with a wingspan of 80 yards--scraped a building at the show, clipping its wing. Korean Air flew one of its superjumbo jets to the show to come to Airbus' rescue, The Wall Street Journal reported. The damaged
plane sat with its wing covered over the weekend.

Again? They're gonna have to install curb feelers on the wingtips of those. At least it wasn't a smaller plane that got clipped this time.

Bull in a China shop. Gonna be a hard sell.

Super Jumbo looks even better now.

That's twice now, they crashed into ground shit with one.
