The wing of a United Airlines flight clipped the tail of a Delta plane Friday evening at a Boston airport
The incident happened around 7:20 pm at Boston Logan International Airport when the United plane was taxing to a holding pad at the airport and clipped the tail of a Delta flight, the Federal Aviation Administration said. No injuries were reported. Alex Wilson, who said he was aboard the Delta flight waiting to take off, told CNN he felt the plane rock back and forth for a few seconds. “[It] wasn’t immediately clear what caused this, although it felt like a brief earthquake,” he told CNN.
Video that Wilson recorded from inside the plane shows several emergency trucks and personnel by the aircraft. In another video, the United Airlines plane, which was bound for Newark, is seen getting towed. Wilson said his Delta flight, which was headed to Detroit, eventually got towed back to its original gate. “The winglet of a United aircraft clipped the tail of another aircraft at Boston Logan International Airport,” United said in a statement.
