Two Delta Air Lines jets collided on a taxiway at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport on Tuesday, damaging one aircraft's tail section but fortunately resulting in no injuries.
The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed it will investigate the incident, which occurred when Delta flight 295 was taxiing for departure to Tokyo and struck the tail of another plane.
Emergency crews responded to the scene, where photos showed major damage to the tail section of a regional jet, but the airport did not experience significant delays or cancellations.
There is uncertainty regarding whether the collision stemmed from pilot error, air traffic control miscommunication, or another underlying factor, prompting ongoing FAA investigations into similar recent airport incidents.
