Narrative:
On a flight from boston to manchester we were given a clearance to taxi from north cargo to 33L intersection departure from golf, via the outer charlie and golf. When we reach the charlie taxiway, we crossed runway 4L and 4R. We turned left into the golf runup area and held short of golf. A widebody transport was just coming to a stop and holding short of runway 27 on charlie taxiway in front of us. We were positioned parallel and to the left side of the widebody transport and at a safe distance behind them. As we were waiting for a takeoff clearance on frequency 119.1, the widebody transport crossed runway 27 using frequency 128.8 and used such an excess amount of thrust, that it caused both front windshields of our plane to crack. It also lifted the aircraft off the ground, particularly on the right side. We immediately reported this to the tower, who offered their assistance. They then gave us a clearance to taxi back to north cargo for an aircraft inspection. Passenger were escorted safely back to the terminal.

Title: LTT ACFT DAMAGED IN JET BLAST ENCOUNTER WITH AN INTL BOUND 4 ENG WDB.
Narrative: ON A FLT FROM BOSTON TO MANCHESTER WE WERE GIVEN A CLRNC TO TAXI FROM N CARGO TO 33L INTXN DEP FROM GOLF, VIA THE OUTER CHARLIE AND GOLF. WHEN WE REACH THE CHARLIE TAXIWAY, WE CROSSED RWY 4L AND 4R. WE TURNED L INTO THE GOLF RUNUP AREA AND HELD SHORT OF GOLF. A WDB WAS JUST COMING TO A STOP AND HOLDING SHORT OF RWY 27 ON CHARLIE TAXIWAY IN FRONT OF US. WE WERE POSITIONED PARALLEL AND TO THE L SIDE OF THE WDB AND AT A SAFE DISTANCE BEHIND THEM. AS WE WERE WAITING FOR A TKOF CLRNC ON FREQ 119.1, THE WDB CROSSED RWY 27 USING FREQ 128.8 AND USED SUCH AN EXCESS AMOUNT OF THRUST, THAT IT CAUSED BOTH FRONT WINDSHIELDS OF OUR PLANE TO CRACK. IT ALSO LIFTED THE ACFT OFF THE GND, PARTICULARLY ON THE R SIDE. WE IMMEDIATELY RPTED THIS TO THE TWR, WHO OFFERED THEIR ASSISTANCE. THEY THEN GAVE US A CLRNC TO TAXI BACK TO N CARGO FOR AN ACFT INSPECTION. PAX WERE ESCORTED SAFELY BACK TO THE TERMINAL.
