Delta jets collide during taxi

Two Delta aircraft collided while taxiing at New York’s LaGuardia Airport on October 2, leaving one plane with part of its wing severed. A video of the incident has since circulated widely online.

Passengers said the collision occurred shortly after landing. “They were taxiing to the gate at LGA after landing at CLT when they were struck by another Delta regional jet that was taxiing by," a CBS News producer onboard flight DL5047 told reporters.
