The captain of one of the Delta Air Lines regional jets that collided at the intersection of two taxiways at LaGuardia Airport in New York last month told investigators he did not recall hearing instructions to give way to the other plane, according to a preliminary report Thursday from the National Transportation Safety Board.
An aircraft carrying 32 people was preparing for takeoff to Roanoke, Virginia, on the night of Oct. 1 when its wing made contact with the fuselage of an aircraft arriving from Charlotte, North Carolina, with 61 people aboard. The low-speed collision injured a flight attendant, damaged the nose of one plane and a wing of the other.
