Narrative:
On dec/xa/98 we were deicing the aircraft on the air carrier deicing pad. The aircraft was contract xyz B747 cargo plane. The WX was light snow, poor visibility. While deicing the rear quadrant, the boom of the deicing truck struck the wing causing damage to the aircraft wing. I believe the visibility was a major factor in this incident.
