Delta Plane Collides With Small Aircraft on Tarmac [Watch]
Planes, trains and automobiles are still the main forms of travel in the world. Some people don’t like to drive long distances, while some people don’t like to fly long distances.
Whether you’re a flyer or driver, you might take a second to kiss the ground when you arrive, as the passengers of these two flights at the Atlanta airport might have done after making it through an unforgettable and scary moment.
Delta Plane Collides With Small Aircraft on Tarmac
When the two planes collided, it tore the the tail off of the smaller plane. This is leaving investigators wondering if it was pilot error, or possibly an issue with the ground markings on the actual tarmac itself at the Atlanta airport.
Airport runway security video from the busiest airport in the world, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, shows the exact moment when the Delta flight’s wing clips the tail off of the other airliner, which is parked at the gate.
The pilots of the Delta flight seemed to be unaware of what they hit, but they did feel that they hit something. The pilot is heard on the air traffic control channel saying, “We just hit something on the taxiway, could you tell us what it was?”
There were more than 200 people on the Delta flight, and 50 on the other regional jet that was getting ready for takeoff.
Thankfully nobody was hurt, but the incident certainly caused delays.
According to Good Morning America, an airport spokesperson said there was “minimal impact to airport operations” in a statement.
