"Two Delta Air Lines regional jets collided while on the taxiway at LaGuardia airport in New York, injuring at least one person in what the airline described as a low-speed collision. The wing of an aircraft carrying 32 people getting ready to take off Wednesday night to Roanoke, Virginia, hit the fuselage of an aircraft arriving from Charlotte, North Carolina, with 61 people aboard, according to a statement from Delta."
"There were no reports of passengers injured, the airline said. Their right wing clipped our nose and the cockpit we have damage to our windscreen and ... some of our screens in here, a pilot said, according to air traffic control audio. The plane that had landed stopped, jerked, and jumped to the right, passenger William Lusk, told ABC. Everyone went dead silent."
