Narrative:
We started and sat idle for 2-3 mins to do checklist and get taxi clearance from ground and our own ramp personnel. We taxied out, gross weight approximately 100000#. 4 days later I found out a small commuter plane was behind us and their agent was loading bags during our start-up and taxi-out. We had blown some metal stairs into her leg resulting in minor injury requiring a doctor. I used minimal thrust that night to taxi out, however we were quite heavy. I don't know if the commuter came in after us and parked close, or what.
