Narrative:
After given clearance to taxi to runway 6R from ground control and nearing the departure point for takeoff, ground notified our flight that there was possible contact of our aircraft with a B777. The city of lax and mechanics were then sent out to our aircraft to investigate and see if any damage was incurred. After a careful inspection, the mechanic notified us that there was no damage to our aircraft. Later, it was determined that the B777 was not parked in its proper position and without wing walkers.
