Delta Plane Collision Nearly Severs Tail of Aircraft From Body at Atlanta Airport: Video

• Delta Flight 295 bound for Tokyo collided with Endeavor Air 5526 bound for Lafayette, La. on Tuesday, Sept. 10 
• DL295 was “taxiing out” when it “made contact with the tail of” Endeavor Air 5526, airline confirms
• The incident occurred “at the intersection of two taxiways,” according to the FAA 

Two planes collided at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on the morning of Tuesday, Sept. 10, both Delta and the Federal Aviation Administration confirmed. 

At around 10:07 a.m. local time on Tuesday, Sept. 10, Delta Flight 295 bound for Tokyo was “taxiing out” when it “made contact with the tail of” Endeavor Air 5526 (a subsidiary of Delta) on an adjacent taxiway, the airline confirms in a statement. The Endeavor Air flight was headed for Lafayette, La. 

The collision resulted in the tail of the much smaller Endeavor plane being nearly sliced from the body of the plane. The DeltaA350, the largest plane in Delta’s fleet, suffered damage to its wing.

The incident did not cause any known injuries to crew members or passengers, the airline says. 

CBS senior transportation correspondent Chris Van Cleave compared the collision to “a semi truck and a small sedan coming together for a fender bender.” Noting, “In this case, it appears the wing tip of the A350 essentially severed the tail or the stabilizer on the back for the plane.”

He added that “the passengers on the A350 probably felt a thud. I imagine the folks on the much smaller plane, the CRJ900, would have felt that far more intensely.”

Following the incident, passengers were “transported back to the terminal” where they were accommodated on alternate flights, according to Delta. “There were 221 customers on DL295 and 56 customers on DL5526.”

The FAA confirmed that they “will investigate the incident” in a statement shared with PEOPLE.

The National Transportation Safety Board is also investigating: “NTSB investigators are traveling to the scene. A preliminary report is expected to publish in 30 days,” the agency shared.

In February, a similar incident occurred when two JetBlue planes made contact on the tarmac at Boston Logan International Airport.

“A JetBlue aircraft entering a de-icing pad lane at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) came into contact with another JetBlue aircraft on an adjacent de-icing pad lane, causing damage to one aircraft’s winglet and the other aircraft’s tail section,” the airline said in a statement at the time.
