| Delta and Japan Airlines planes collide at Seattle Airport | |
| 2025-02-06 | |
The taxiing Japan Airlines plane that arrived from Tokyo struck the tail of a parked Delta plane at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport at 10:17am. Both aircraft were filled with passengers. Terrified passengers, who were located between S Concourse and the south maintenance hangars, were astonished to see the wing embedded into the tail from outside their windows. No injuries were reported and there was minimal impact to airport operations. Images online showed the Japan Airlines wing cut right through the Delta tail. 'So, we were sitting on the tarmac at SeaTac and another plane ran into us, just casually sliced into our tail. Very scary,' one witness said on X. There were 142 customers on the Delta flight from Seattle to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The company said they are working to get passengers on a new aircraft. 'While in sequence for deicing, the tail of a Delta 737 aircraft reportedly made contact with a wing tip of another airline's aircraft,' a Delta spokesperson told DailyMail.com. 'There are no reports of injuries for crew or customers on the flight, and we apologize for the experience and delay in travels.' | |
