Who writes this stuff — “a wing clipped a flight”?.
No, a wing of a United plane clipped part of an American Airlines plane. Probably the wing.
Runway incursion.
United flight 898 was taxiing from Gate 19 to the runway for its flight to Austin
I doubt if they even scraped the paint off either wing.
The sad part is - I heard passengers on both planes were stuck and could not return to the gate for several hours while officials from both airlines pointed fingers at each other and waited for the FAA.
The article said the wing clipped the tail of AA.
Dinging your, and another multi-million dollar aircraft, full of passengers on the ground, is not a resumé enhancer.
Apparently, reporters these days do not believe in proofreading and think that posting their rough drafts is just fine.
