Narrative:
The WX at syr Z ATIS was current and we expected the ILS 28. We continued a normal ILS. PNF was handling company radio procedures and frequency switching. After T/D the aircraft was slowed to a manageable speed. To the best of my recall, the tower instructed me to exit at echo and contact ground point 7. On echo I did as instructed and I believe ground responded cleared to the gate, give way to an MU2. Looking for the MU2 at a very slow roll, I continued and looked for the aircraft with the brakes being applied and the power levers on the top of the gate (in reverse) I continued. Approximately 10' away I saw the MU2 aircraft and applied the brakes immediately. To the best of my recall, the aircraft I was in was at a complete stop at the point of impact. Emergency shut down and evacuate/evacuation was performed. After opening the door I checked to see if it was safe for passenger to exit. It was safe and the passenger were brought from the aircraft to the edge of the taxiway away from the aircraft. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following: reporter states visibility was extremely poor due to fog. Neither aircraft could see the other until really close. At time of impact reporter aircraft was completely stopped. Second aircraft taxied into right wing. Damaged so it was not flyable.

Title: AFTER EXITING RWY, ACFT CLEARED TO GATE, BUT GIVE WAY TO OTHER ACFT. SAW ACFT AT CLOSE RANGE. STOPPED. OTHER ACFT TAXIED INTO RIGHT WING.
Narrative: THE WX AT SYR Z ATIS WAS CURRENT AND WE EXPECTED THE ILS 28. WE CONTINUED A NORMAL ILS. PNF WAS HANDLING COMPANY RADIO PROCS AND FREQ SWITCHING. AFTER T/D THE ACFT WAS SLOWED TO A MANAGEABLE SPD. TO THE BEST OF MY RECALL, THE TWR INSTRUCTED ME TO EXIT AT ECHO AND CONTACT GND POINT 7. ON ECHO I DID AS INSTRUCTED AND I BELIEVE GND RESPONDED CLRED TO THE GATE, GIVE WAY TO AN MU2. LOOKING FOR THE MU2 AT A VERY SLOW ROLL, I CONTINUED AND LOOKED FOR THE ACFT WITH THE BRAKES BEING APPLIED AND THE PWR LEVERS ON THE TOP OF THE GATE (IN REVERSE) I CONTINUED. APPROX 10' AWAY I SAW THE MU2 ACFT AND APPLIED THE BRAKES IMMEDIATELY. TO THE BEST OF MY RECALL, THE ACFT I WAS IN WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP AT THE POINT OF IMPACT. EMER SHUT DOWN AND EVAC WAS PERFORMED. AFTER OPENING THE DOOR I CHKED TO SEE IF IT WAS SAFE FOR PAX TO EXIT. IT WAS SAFE AND THE PAX WERE BROUGHT FROM THE ACFT TO THE EDGE OF THE TXWY AWAY FROM THE ACFT. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING: RPTR STATES VISIBILITY WAS EXTREMELY POOR DUE TO FOG. NEITHER ACFT COULD SEE THE OTHER UNTIL REALLY CLOSE. AT TIME OF IMPACT RPTR ACFT WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED. SECOND ACFT TAXIED INTO RIGHT WING. DAMAGED SO IT WAS NOT FLYABLE.
