## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23)PARKING SPACE WAS EXTREMELY LIMITED AS A RESULT OF DIVERSIONS INTO BWI DUE TO WEATHER. THE RW28 DEICE PAD WAS BEING USED TO PARK AIRCRAFT.  IT IS MARKED FOR LARGER AIRCRAFT, BUT NOT B-737'S.  THE NOSES OF THE TWO (2) UNITED B-757'S WERE PARKED RIGHT UP TO THE EDGE OF THE OUTER LIMIT OF TAXIWAY "C", HOWEVER THEY WERE FACING 180 DEGREES FROM THE NORMAL POSITION.  SOUTHWEST HAD ONE (1) B-737 PARKED ONT HE CONCRETE AREA OF THE PAD ON ROW 5.  A MAINTENANCE CREW TAXIED A B-737 FROM THE TERMINAL AND WAS TOLD BY MAA OPS TO PARK ON ROW 5.  THEY GOT AS CLOSE TO THE PREVIOUSLY PARKED B-737 AS THEY COULD.  A MERTOJET TAXING ON "C" NOTIFIED GROUND CONTROL THAT THE B-737 ON SPOT FIVE (5) WAS VERY CLOSE TO THE EDGE OF TAXIWAY "C".  GROUND CONTROL ACKNOWLEDGED RECEIPT OF THE PROBLEM AND ADVISED ALL SUCCEEDING AIRCRAFT ABOUT THE PARKED AIRCRAFT.  GROUND CONTROL DID NOT REQUEST MARYLAND AIRPORT AUTHORITY TO GO OUT TO INVESTIGATE.  ABOUT SIX (6) MINUTES AFTER THE ORIGINAL NOTIFICATION AN AIR JAMAICA A-310 CONTACTED THE LEFT ELEVATOR OF THE PARKED SOUTHWEST B737 CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE A-310 AND SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE B-737.  NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED NOR WAS AN EMERGENCY EVCUATION REQUI RED.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
