This has happened many times at YYZ. My father works at the airport and tells me all about them. It has happened a lot on big aircraft like B767s. CRJs being hit is pretty uncommon.

This happened a while ago, I was travelling the next day and was watching the news the night before. I guess it happened at night.

Yes, this happened at ORD at least a month ago. Yes, the aircraft was very new and from what I've heard it is a write-off.
The employee bus had only the drive on board and she wasn't hurt that much. The city to date hasn't given her airport ID back and it is assumed their(the city) is trying to get her job. This was the first accident involving a bus and a moving aircraft at United that anyone recalls(at ORD).
