Another Day At The Airport: Two Jets Clip Wings on Taxiway

Another Day At The Airport: Two Jets Clip Wings on Taxiway


Two American Eagle flights bumped wings while taxiing at Reagan National Airport.

Were the pilots playing bumper planes?

Or just shaking hands using the wings?

No one was hurt, but both planes suffered wing damage.

Passengers were taken off and rebooked, while the jets were sidelined for inspection.

My question is, when you’re “driving” a plane down the runway, how do you not see another big plane right there next to you?

American apologized and promised something like “Um, this never happens. We love safety. Keeping buying our tickets”
