    2 Delta planes collide on tarmac at Atlanta airport, FAA says


    Officials are investigating after a Delta plane collided with an Endeavor Air flight on the tarmac at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Georgia. Endeavor Air is a Delta subsidiary.

    Delta Air Lines Flight 295, an Airbus A350, was taxiing for departure to Tokyo, Japan, shortly after 10 a.m., the Federal Aviation Administration said, when its wingtip struck the tail of Endeavor Air Flight 5526. The Endeavor plane, a Bombardier CRJ900 craft, was bound for Lafayette, Louisiana. The planes were on alternate taxiways when the collision happened, Delta said.

    Dang. I mean, that was some serious force to rip off that entire empennage. Must've sounded like an explosion inside that cabin. Glad no one was hurt.

    I don’t think I’d have gotten on another plane that day to finish the trip. Rent a truck and drive the rest of the way!

    From the Aviation Safety Network

    That plane is not going anywhere anytime soon. It could be DBR.

    ATC of the accident. Note the pilot said "we were on the centerline" I guess he was trying to cover his butt.

    I guess they are figuring out what to do with it.

    More reasons sunbelt should have earlier games and maybe that flight would have already been back

    Ha! Speaking of that, I had compressor stalls yesterday on approach. My passengers were VERY READY to get off of the crafts once we landed.

    I was on Delta Hawaii to Salt Lake City (8pm scheduled flight) last Tuesday.

    All afternoon it said "delayed" but we boarded on time.

    Once everyone boarded (now the delay) they said one of the three navigational computers was broken or acting up but that fortunatly they had one in Honolulu and would change it then.

    An hour later the captive crowd took off. No Delta caused problems whatsoever besides a delay from missing connecting flights.

    Oof. Sounds like the engine coming apart. Good work.

    Bleed air valve problems. But that airframe is going to the scrapyard.

    I was on this plane with a bunch of Scripps reporters, producers, videographers, and managers on our way to help KATC’s storm coverage. It was quite the harrowing experience.
