Two Delta Airlines planes have collided on a runway at the country’s busiest airport.
The incident took place at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Georgia just after 10am on Tuesday.
The crash occurred after Tokyo-bound flight DL295 clipped the back of flight DL5526 to Louisiana as it was taxiing for takeoff.
The regional jet, an Endeavor Air CRJ-900, was left with a severed tail while the Airbus 350 sustained damage to its wing.
Dramatic photos from witnesses appear to show the back end of the Louisiana-bound flight bent at a 90 degree angle.
So far, no injuries have been reported among the combined 277 passengers on board the jets.
