CHICAGO (AP) \u2014 A United Airlines plane heading for its gate clipped the tail of another United aircraft at Chicago\u2019s O\u2019Hare Airport, authorities said.<\/p>\n
No one was hurt in Friday\u2019s incident and the 113 passengers on Flight 2652 from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, were able to leave the plane normally after a delay, United officials said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The second plane had its horizonal stabilizer struck and was not moving when the planes hit, officials said.<\/p>\n
Bill Marcus, a passenger on the flight from Wyoming, said he didn\u2019t even realize anything happened until the pilot said there would be a delay to document something and passengers on the plane saw a number of people gather around the right wing.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was shocked that I didn\u2019t feel something more, although when they separated the planes there was some shuddering,\u201d Marcus told CBS News Chicago.<\/a> It took about 40 extra minutes for the plane to get to the gate, he said.<\/p>\n Earlier this month, two Delta Air Lines regional jets collided at the intersection of taxiways at LaGuardia Airport in New York, injuring a flight attendant.<\/p>\n Runway collisions like these could add to worries about aviation safety in the wake of recent crashes and near misses<\/a> including the deadliest plane crash<\/a> in the United States in decades, when an Army helicopter collided with an airliner<\/a> preparing to land at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in January.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CHICAGO (AP) \u2014 A United Airlines plane heading for its gate clipped the tail of another United aircraft…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":69712,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[9178,130683,28,157,793,5630,5629,795,3314],"class_list":["post-235860","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-aerospace-and-defense-industry","tag-bill-marcus","tag-business","tag-chicago","tag-general-news","tag-il-state-wire","tag-illinois","tag-u-s-news","tag-wyoming"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235860","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=235860"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235860\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69712"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=235860"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=235860"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=235860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
