Two planes have collided on a Seattle airport runway, this week.
On 5 February, two jets collided while on the tarmac at Seattle-Tacoma International airport.
A Delta spokesperson revealed that Delta Flight 1921 from Vancouver had landed for a layover and ended up colliding with a Japan airlines plane that was taxiing on the runway.
The rep revealed that the 737 had 142 customers on board and was de-icing when the airplanes wing tip collided with the other plane.
There have been no injuries revealed at this time but flyers were asked to move onto a new plane.
The Federal Aviation Administration shared a statement, claiming the right wing of Japan Airlines Flight 68 hit the tail of the Delta plane at around 10:40 AM PT and the “aircraft were in an area that is not under air traffic control.”
The cause of the collision is being investigated.
This comes after a Black Hawk helicopter carrying three soldiers crashed mid-air with a commercial plane carrying 60 passengers and four crew on 29 January 2025 in Washington.
64 people were onboard and officials say all sadly died.
