'A tug pushing back a Virgin 787,
crashed the wing into a BA A350.'

The British Airways jet had recently arrived
in London from Accra, Ghana and was due
to depart on the return journey at 12.40pm
from Gate 25 at Terminal 3.

It's departure has been pushed back to
6.30pm, according to Heathrow Airport's
departure board.

Luggage handlers were operating in the area
of the British Airways jet when the
impact occurred.

At least five fire engines attended the scene in
case there was any fuel leaks or possible fire.
A host of other airport security officials
secured the scene.

The incident will be investigated by the Air
Accident Investigation Branch of the
Department of Transport. ]
