Two Delta Airlines planes collided on the runway at Atlanta Airport in Georgia. The incident occurred early Tuesday as one of the planes was taxiing for takeoff.
According to eyewitnesses, the collision involved flight DAL295, which was bound for Tokyo. The plane, which was scheduled to take off at 9:45 a.m. local time, collided with another aircraft on the runway. Witnesses say the planes touched each other as one of them began to take off.
According to Google, the Tokyo flight was delayed due to a "runway delay." There has been no official comment from Delta Airlines or the Atlanta airport authorities at this time.
There is no information about casualties yet, and the causes of the incident and the extent of damage to the planes are still being clarified. Eyewitnesses at the airport said that the collision occurred at a fairly low speed, which allowed serious consequences to be avoided.
