Not quite a "flip" but rocked for sure. Although in this case I believe the DL Connection CRJ crew was cited at fault for not notifying ground control that they were not completely on the ramp.

Don't hate the Airbus. The incident occurred because of the ground service, I think. Don't blame the Airbus.

In this particular instance I think it was most likely a communication error. Similar to what happened between a Southwest 737 and US Airways 320 at PHX some years back. So yeah, it can happen with any aircraft at any airport.
