ANA Bumps 787 Engine Into Jetbridge
All Nippon Airways has admitted that its first Boeing 787 suffered some slight surface damage to its engine inlet cowl after it hit a passenger boarding bridge. The incident took place while ground crew were towing the aircraft, JA801A, on 13 October, said the spokesman. He added that the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000-powered aircraft suffered only surface damage, and that it resumed regular flight tests on 14 October after the company did some checks.

It's a funny way to hand in your notice to quit !
John Donaldson: Repairs may be closer than you think! Mitsubishi Industries manufactured the carbon fiber wings for the 787
Good point...I was thinking primarily of whatever technology is used in the pressurized compartment, but certainly the tail and wing components like human nose are most likely to be damaged on the ground as they hang out.
I hope the jetbridge makes a speedy recovery!
They ought to just give a hammer to the President of the company, instead of a champagne bottle, although that would work too, let him take a whack at it while stil at the factory and get the first boo boo out of the way. Oh, that's right, then they would have to get a discount for known damage history....
As I always say, "This is why we don't have nice things!"
