Two jets collide at New York airport
Two jets have collided at John F Kennedy International Airport in the second accident of its kind in less than a year.
The wing of an Air India Boeing 777 jet hit the horizontal stabilizer of a JetBlue Airways Airbus A320 as it pushed back from the gate in preparation for take-off. No injuries were reported.
Neither plane was being directed by air traffic controllers at the time.
This was the second taxiway accident between a big jet and a small plane at JFK. In the first, in April 2011, the wing tip of a taxiing Air France A380 superjumbo jet hit the tail of a Comair regional jet waiting to park.
Two other such accidents have occurred in Chicago and Boston.
Technology does exist to help prevent such crashes, including wingtip cameras, and the National Transportation Safety Board has urged regulators to mandate their use.
As airports grow more congested and larger planes roll out, such small accidents—and the inconvenience and costs they cause—are likely to increase.
Passengers on Jet Blue Flight 145, bound for West Palm Beach, were delayed more than three hours.
