Japan Airlines 787-9 Collides with Delta 737-800 at Seattle Airport

A Japan Airlines Boeing 787-9 collided with a parked Delta Air Lines 737-800 at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, with the incident occurring around 10:40 a.m. local time. The right wing of the Japan Airlines plane struck the tail of the Delta aircraft, which was waiting to be deiced, carrying 142 passengers bound for Puerto Vallarta. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and passengers from the Delta flight were transferred to another plane while airport authorities managed the situation. The FAA briefly halted incoming flights as a precautionary measure. Japan Airlines has not yet commented on the incident, and investigations are ongoing. The collision marks another safety concern at airports, following a recent midair crash involving a passenger plane and an Army helicopter near D.C.
