Delta Planes Collide at Atlanta Airport

Two Delta Air Lines planes collided on the tarmac at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, causing significant damage but no injuries. The incident occurred around 10:10 a.m. local time when the wingtip of an Airbus A350, bound for Tokyo, clipped the tail of a Bombardier CRJ-900, operated by Delta subsidiary Endeavor Air, which was headed to Lafayette. There were 221 passengers on the Airbus and 56 on the regional jet. Both planes were damaged, with the tail of the CRJ-900 being severed. Passengers were taken back to the terminal and reaccommodated on alternate flights. The FAA and NTSB are investigating the collision.
