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.

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.

No wonder people are blaming DIE.

I was gonna say...I hope nobody’s complaining.
Buttplug and the FCC’s new rule about no whites allowed ?
Yes, I would much rather be in a plane collision while still on the ground!
Tell that to those folks in Tenerife.
The planes were full of people? Even I got it.

DEI working for you!!!
I agree. A “fleet full of passengers” is a new phrase to me. I wonder if the phrase is British.
DEI strikes again! (I bet...)
Planes were being de-iced prior to take off and one pulled in too close and hit the other plane.
Sounds like pilot error , not ATC.
It’s actually worse than most people understand. The cascades of intertwined failures will be the eye opener.
I post that on all applicable threads.
