A Delta aircraft clipped the tail of another plane Tuesday morning at an Atlanta airport. The collision happened just after 10 a.m. at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport while Delta Flight 295 was taxiing for departure and struck Endeavor Air Flight 5526, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement. Video taken at the airport appears to show the Endeavor plane with its tail hanging off the side of the aircraft.
Moments before the collision, someone could be heard on radio traffic yelling for both planes to stop, according to the website LiveATC. A source familiar with the matter told NBC News at the time that the planes came within 1,000 feet of each other. The JetBlue plane had to abort takeoff, the airline said.
