There's been a bump at Yangon airport

Doesn't look too bad from that angle. The other side however -

I was there last week !
There is so little activity at Yangon and the apron with a simple line of planes I can't imagine
how this could have happened. It's not like the pilot missed him in 'the blind spot' !
Flew on various ATR's which are pretty scary over the sort of terrain we were landing in.
Thankfully home in one piece.

How the merry heck do you taxi a plane that size and fail to notice another just as large!
The A319 wasn't being taxied it was being pushed by a tug and became disconnected from the tug. The A320 had no chance to get out of the way.Nope not a pilot, there should be a qualified person up there riding the brakes though when using a towbar and tractor.
My guess is there wasn't or there was and they didn't have any power on so couldn't stop when the bar broke or came detached.
Expensive mistake, looks like they'll both be out of action for quite some time.
