CHICAGO (AP) \u2014 A United Airlines plane heading for its gate clipped the tail of another United aircraft at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport, authorities said.<\/p>\n
No one was hurt in Friday’s incident and the 113 passengers on Flight 2652 from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, were able to leave the plane normally after a delay, United officials said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The second plane had its horizonal stabilizer struck and was not moving when the planes hit, officials said.<\/p>\n
Bill Marcus, a passenger on the flight from Wyoming, said he didn’t even realize anything happened until the pilot said there would be a delay to document something and passengers on the plane saw a number of people gather around the right wing.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was shocked that I didn\u2019t feel something more, although when they separated the planes there was some shuddering,\u201d Marcus told CBS News Chicago.<\/a> It took about 40 extra minutes for the plane to get to the gate, he said.<\/p>\n Earlier this month, two Delta Air Lines regional jets collided at the intersection of taxiways at LaGuardia Airport in New York, injuring a flight attendant.<\/p>\n Runway collisions like these could add to worries about aviation safety in the wake of recent crashes and near misses<\/a> including the deadliest plane crash<\/a> in the United States in decades, when an Army helicopter collided with an airliner<\/a> preparing to land at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in January.<\/p>\n Copyright 2025 The Associated Press.
