Two JetBlue airplanes collided on the tarmac at Boston's Logan Airport on Thursday.
The jets collided while a fleet full of passengers were inside both aircraft. One plane was left with damage to its wing, while the other aircraft’s tail section was wrecked.
Debris was scattered on the runway and both jets were taken out of service.
The incident on Thursday occurred after the planes pulled away from the gate around 6.40am. The FAA confirmed that one of the plane's 'left winglet' struck the 'right horizontal stabilizer' of the other passenger jet.

Our plane collided with another plane on the runway. You have to be some kind of stupid to let that happen.
'Your continuous downfall as the worst airline available is truly remarkable and should be studied. You are a bunch of morons.'

In March last year, two United Airlines planes made contact at Boston Logan Airport.
Last year, dozens of near-misses between aircrafts in the US were recorded.
There were 46 'close calls' in July 2023 alone, according to reports shared by the Federal Aviation Authority, and airline workers fear it's only a matter of time before a devastating incident in the US.
Recent examples include several cases of aircraft almost colliding during take-off or landing at major US airports. Others include a mid-air near miss between two planes traveling in excess of 500mph.

Who has the Breaking Bad ABQ clip?
Lol.
Aviation Ping!........................
Diversity.... I wanna see photos and qualifications of the crews.
“Our plane collided with another plane on the runway”
Well, if it’s gonna happen, on the ground is a hell of lot better than at 30,000 feet.
Isn’t diversity great?
I wanna see photos and qualifications of the Tower ATC..................
LOL - near-misses
” a fleet full of passengers were inside both aircraft”
What the hell does that mean?
“Isn’t diversity great?”
That’s why the wife and I are DRIVING form South FL to Dallas TX next week. I would rather drive then fly.
DIEversity is NOT a strength..
“Diversity.... I wanna see photos and qualifications of the crews.”
And the ATC employees.
Waiting for Boeing’s fault.
Boeing planes?
“Look, they almost missed.”
“Yeah, but not quite!”
I don’t blame you, at all!!
I would do the same.
DIEversity is NOT a strength..
Hear, hear!!
Only two realistic ways that this happens. One is that the crew was incompetent. The other is that someone working at the tower was incompetent.
Another GREAT EXAMPLE of DEI!!
