NEW: Chaos at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport after three parked Air India aircraft were taken out of operation after ground support equipment collided into them following heavy winds and rain on Sunday evening.
The incident occurred around 4.40 pm in the parking bays located near Terminal 2 of the IGIA. No injuries were reported as there were no staff in the parking bay at the time.

On 8 March 2018, Boeing 787-8 BBJ N507BJ suffered a nose gear collapse at Moses Lake, Washington, while undergoing maintenance and VIP conversion work. This was a result of the NLG downlock pin being accidentally installed in the apex pin inner bore, which is adjacent to the correct hole for the downlock pin in the NLG lock link assembly. When the gear-up command was issued, the nose gear retracted and the aircraft dropped onto its nose. The aircraft sustained significant damage to the forward fuselage and engines.
As a result, Boeing issued a service bulletin to mandate installing an insert into the NLG lock link apex pin inner bore. The insert prevents the NLG downlock pin from being inserted in the apex pin bore instead of the adjacent NLG downlock pin hole.

Mid-air collisions are often tragic. The most recent one was a miracle that all 4 aviators escaped unharmed.
The one pictured below, however, did not end so well.
