Date: 19 January 2003
Airline: Northwest Airlines

The aircraft was being taxied from the maintenance area to the gate for a flight at approximately 6:25am local time. Two certified mechanics were at the controls. For unknown reasons, the aircraft failed to stop at the gate, impacted the jetbridge and a TUG, causing the nose landing gear to collapse. The left wing of the Airbus impacted a Northwest Boeing 757 at an adjacent gate, causing damage to that aircraft as well.
