Two Delta planes came in contact with each other this evening on the tarmac at O'Hare International Airport, officials said.
The incident happened about 7:30 p.m. when two Delta flights "clipped wings," said Chicago Department of Aviation spokeswoman Karen Pride.
Delta flight No. 2207 to Minneapolis and flight No. 1777 to Atlanta experienced a "taxi-way incursion" on the tarmac, meaning the flights made contact, said Delta spokeswoman Chris Kelly Singley.
There were no injuries reported to the Delta staff and all passengers were taken off the aircraft so officials could determine the extent of damage, she said.
I have a couple of questions was one plane taxing while the other was being pushed back? Or was this a simple pilot was not aware of how wide his wings were type of thing?
Either way I know there will be beer involved.
