AGAIN: Japan Airlines Plane Collides With Delta Jet At Seattle Airport Just Days After 2 Deadly Airline Disasters

A Japan Airlines aircraft collided with a parked Delta Airlines plane at Seattle-Tacoma Airport on Wednesday morning as it taxied along the runway, according to reports. The incident left both planes damaged, though thankfully, no injuries were reported.

The collision took place at 10:17 a.m., according to a statement shared by the airport on X. As the Japan Airlines plane was maneuvering on the runway, its wing made contact with the tail of the stationary Delta aircraft.

Images uploaded by passengers on social media captured the scene, revealing the Japan Airlines wing embedded deep into the Delta plane’s tail, which had been partially severed.

“So, we were sitting on the tarmac at SeaTac and another plane ran into us, just casually sliced into our tail. Very scary,” one traveler shared online.

“Loud. It was scary. Getting inspected now,” the passenger added in a follow-up comment.

Despite the severity of the accident, airport officials indicated that disruptions to operations were minimal.

This incident occurred amid heightened anxiety in airports nationwide following two recent aviation tragedies.

In a catastrophic event last week, 67 people died when a US Army helicopter crashed into an American Airlines jet during a landing at Reagan National Airport.

Only two days later, tragedy struck again in Philadelphia when a medical evacuation jet carrying six passengers lost control and crashed onto a crowded street, erupting in flames. All six aboard and one person on the ground were killed in the disaster.
