Terror ensued as two Delta Airlines planes collided on a runway at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the busiest airport in the United States. Affecting a combined 277 passengers between the two vehicles.
The incident occurred around 10 am on Tuesday (August 10) when flight DL295, an Airbus A350, clipped the tail of a smaller regional jet, as it was preparing for takeoff.
As the larger jet, weighing at 239,000 pounds, crashed into the much smaller Endeavor Air Bombardier CRJ-900, the former sustained damage to its wingtip, while the latter had its entire tail severed.
