Two Delta Airlines planes collide on runway at Atlanta airport
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Two Delta Airlines planes have collided on a runway at the country's busiest airport.

The incident took place at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Georgia just after 10am on Tuesday.

The crash occurred after Tokyo-bound flight DL295 clipped the back of flight DL5526 to Louisiana as it was taxiing for takeoff.
Pilot error or something missed in the control tower?
The regional jet, an Endeavor Air CRJ-900, was left with a severed tail while the Airbus 350 sustained damage to its wing.

Dramatic photos from witnesses appear to show the back end of the Louisiana-bound flight bent at a 90 degree angle.
"Go ahead and take off. The wind will straighten it out"
So far, no injuries have been reported among the combined 277 passengers on board the jets.

Delta said that the Airbus rammed into the Lafayette-bound plane as it was sat on an adjacent runway, 'resulting in damage to the tail of the regional jet and the wing of the A350'.
