Two Planes Collide on LAX Tarmac, See The Damage
Los Angeles International Airport Two Planes Collide ... See The Wing Damage
Air Canada and Delta passengers are facing delays after their planes made contact on the tarmac at LAX ... and it looks like the Air Canada aircraft took the brunt of it.
Photos obtained by TMZ show a massive gash in the right horizontal stabilizer of the Air Canada plane after Tuesday's alarming collision.
A passenger on the Delta flight tells TMZ ... the plane was taxiing for departure when its left wing clipped the tail of the Air Canada aircraft, which was being towed to the gate. We're told passengers felt a big jolt before the plane came to an abrupt stop, but no one onboard was injured.
The FAA tells TMZ ... the Delta flight struck the horizontal stabilizer of the Air Canada plane around 10:30 AM. The agency says the Air Canada aircraft was being towed when it stopped short of its gate.
Air Canada spokesperson Sean Davidson tells TMZ ... the plane had arrived from Toronto and will be taken out of service for inspection and repairs. No injuries have been reported.
The FAA is investigating the incident.
