    I saw this happen the irony was that the tower had asked 3 aircraft in the line to move up so that they could get the frankfurt flight out because it was running low on fuel. I have a picture of the aircraft making the turn at the point where the collision occured and you can see that it is extremely tight.

      Low on fuel at the origin, that sounds odd. Please feel free to post the picture here.
